Does anybody know what happened to Goddard and Gibbs on Kingsland Rd ( just a few yards before Shoreditch Church ) ? They made stained glass windows and you could do classes there . The building survives with the word ” Glass” etched into the masonary but the company has ” gone ” . Do you have any info GA ? Thanks for these beautiful pictures .

I had no idea she had a cousin in London, those pictures are wonderful & I’d love to see them.

Here in Stoke we have always been heavily Nonconformist & apart from Bethesda & Stoke Minster there are few religious buildings that are worth much. So I’d like to explore that urban, working-class Anglo-Catholicism that is so fascinatingly alien to what I’ve known. It isn’t what “high church” conjures up in my mind and I’ve never seen anything like those windows so I’d love to see it.

She was known as “Marga” the elder cousin of “Tor” featured in The Gentle Reader’s article. As to be expected with stained glass, her work which is very similar to Tor’s, is displayed by means of dvds as well as actual examples.
