Long-awaited study of stained glass from Welsh churches published in new book
Stained glass can be found in churches across the whole of Wales, furnishing their interiors with colour and imagery. Although these works of surprising beauty are well-loved by their congregations and local communities, little is known beyond their parish boundaries – until now.
Martin Crampin, author of a brand new and fully illustrated volume called Stained Glass from Welsh Churches (Y Lolfa), is the first to publish a study of stained glass across the whole of Wales.
Martin Crampin joined the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies in Aberystwyth in 1999, where he worked on the Visual Culture of Wales and Imaging the Bible in Wales research projects. He has continued to research stained glass, and produced the online Stained Glass in Wales Catalogue, which was launched in 2011.
The hardback volume takes the reader on a journey across 700 years of Welsh history to churches and chapels in city centres, outer suburbs, towns, villages, the coast and the rural countryside of Wales. From the tantalising remains of a vibrant medieval art, to the vast output of the Victorian stained glass firms, the care and commitment of the artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and the innovation of the artists pioneering a new visual language of architectural glass in recent years, the book provides a stunning introduction to a medium that is poorly understood, seldom celebrated, but often admired.
