William Glasby 1863-1941
Stained Glass Artist
Welcome to this website which describes the work of the stained glass artist, William Glasby. Very little attention has been paid to this artist and his work. This research project discusses his life and some of the stained glass windows he produced for churches across the world.
The Sketches and Windows
Foreign Commissions and British Churches
This was a COVID-19 lock down project by John Collins and Erika Szyszczak, neighbours in Hove, East Sussex. Here is our Journey of discovery: whether the Stained Glass Windows still survive and to find out more about the history of the Windows and the history of William Glasby and his family.
If you scroll to the end of the Home Page there is a copy of each sketch, together with any information we have discovered. Some of the Logs are incomplete. We would be delighted if any further information can be supplied, alongside any photographs of the actual Windows.
We were very aware that many of the churches were working under severe constraints and pressure during the COVID-19 lockdown and were humbled by the willingness of Church officials, members, archivists who took an interest in our project. Thank you.
