[122079] St Mary, Nantwich : Bourne Window

            St Mary, Nantwich, Cheshire
North Aisle Window, 1985.
By Michael Charles Farrar Bell (1911-1993).
Detail. 

To the glory of God and in memory of Albert Stanley Bourne 1914-1981, farmer and generous benefactor of this church. This window was given by his wife Betty.

Michael Charles Farrar Bell was the son of Reginald Otto Bell. He studied at the Edinburgh College of Art. Initially, he had his own studio but in 1950 he took over from his father at Clayton and Bell. He continued the tradition of figurative window design, using backgrounds of transparent quarries and maintaining much the same range of coloured glass as had been perfected by Richard Clayton in the 1860s.

The revised Pevsner (BoE) Lincolnshire (1989) is, regrettably, often silent on stained glass. Here at St Mary's all we get is "the richly coloured stained glass in the S windows dates from 1871."
