Stained Glass
Emily’s stained glass windows can be seen at St. John the Divine, Brooklands, Cheshire, and Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham.
The Britomart Windows at Cheltenham Ladies’ College are based upon six pictures taken from Edmund Spenser’s allegory of the “Faery Queene.” They were produced by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. Emily designed four of the windows including the Lady Knight shown here and Frederic Shields designed two – the first and the fifth.
