Bradford Cathedral - East Window - Stained Glass

            Bradford Cathedral.

Cathedral Church of St Peter.

Lady Chapel Window.

Tolson Memorial Window.

Made by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co, 1863.

Detail - Central window.

Tracery - Angel with double pipe, by William Morris.

Designed and made by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., and inserted in the old chancel in 1863 as one complete window, it was refitted by Messrs. Pickett of Leeds for Sir Edward Maufe’s new extension in the early 1960’s.

The glass of the East Window was originally installed as a single seven-light window in Bradford Parish Church in 1863, which in itself replaced an eight-light window inserted in 1671. It was again re-ordered, during the building of the Cathedral extensions 1958-63, this time as three separate windows, a feat involving 30,000 pieces of glass. The glass was originally designed specially for Bradford by William Morris (WM), and his colleagues, Ford Madox Brown (FMB), Edward Burne-Jones (EBJ), Dante Gabriel Rossetti (DGR), Peter Marshall (PPM) and Philip Webb (PW), and was one of their earliest glass commissions

The original East window was donated in 1863 by Sarah Elizabeth Tolson in memory of her husband during the refurbishment of the Parish Church.
 
The limitations at the time of a seven arched window did not lend itself to a pictorial composition so figures were chosen with a unifying theme of 'a cloud of witnesses.'
 
One hundred years later, during the 1960s extension work, this window was removed and re-installed as three separate windows in the new East End.
