Stained Glass Walking Tour: Putney and Fulham
31/5/2016
10.30am-4pm
 
To celebrate the publication of Caroline Swash’s new book The 100 Best Stained Glass Sites in London (2015), the museum has organized a walking tour exploring stained glass at four sites in Putney and Fulham, south-west London. Destinations include the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Putney, where there is a scheme of windows by Alan Younger, whose work can also be seen at the nearby Putney Exchange Shopping Centre [Fig. 3], and All Saints, Fulham, where there is a variety of nineteenth- and twentieth-century stained glass. We will end the day at the former residence of the bishop of London, Fulham Palace, which has a special collection of eighteenth-century heraldic panels, Benjamin West’s cartoons for Fonthill Abbey, and more recent glass by Brian Clarke in the chapel.
