You might like to see this detailed introduction to Margaret Rope and her cousin, also called Margaret Rope, http://www.arthur.rope.clara.net/intro.htm, on the website by her great-nephew, and also a list of both of their works: http://www.arthur.rope.clara.net/torworks.htm;
http://www.arthur.rope.clara.net/margaworks.htm. There is also a website dedicated to the artists, https://margaretrope.wordpress.com/, which has been done by a friend of Arthur Rope and another of a small group dedicated to preserving and cataloguing their archive and promoting the works of these wonderful artists.

You can see many photos by them on this Flickr group, https://www.flickr.com/groups/margarets/, and a few by me at churches in Suffolk: Leiston https://www.flickr.com/photos/imogenradford/sets/72157676092803504/, Little Glemham, https://www.flickr.com/photos/imogenradford/sets/72157676353591174/ , and Kesgrave https://www.flickr.com/photos/imogenradford/sets/72157713164277776/ – a really important church in relation to this family, http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/kesghf.htm.

Of course we can’t visit them now, but can look forward to doing so once that is possible, and meanwhile enjoy the photographs and writings about the artists.

When we are allowed out of hibernation I shall ask our friend, who travels the country seeking out examples of stained glass, if he knows about these. He tells me how much can be learnt about how people lived and worked and dressed in the past from stained glass and these are no exception. If they survive, and I certainly hope that they do, later generations will be able to learn much from them. I agree with Lynne there is so much detail to be found if you look carefully and I also appreciated the photo of ‘Tor’ to finish off the article. Thanks.

GA, thank you for hunting down these lovely, accessible stained glass windows by Margaret Rope. She must have had a special penchant for children since she includes so many in her works.

You mention that she attended the Chelsea College of Art, Central School or Arts & Crafts. There must have been so many like institutions for artists in those days since you reference them in many of your pieces about different artists and crafts men in London area.

AGREED: “Margaret Rope’s extraordinary work mixes the temporal and the spiritual, rendering scenes from religious iconography as literal action and transforming everyday life into revelations – describing a universe simultaneously magical and human.”

Amen

Onward and upward, all.
