Stained Glass Museum (Ely)

The Stained Glass Museum at Ely Cathedral has a new website.

Some windows that I particularly like --

  • Angel ("Ecce Virgo"), 1845. 
  • Arms of Henry VI, 1850.
  • Nativity, 1850.
  • Noli Me Tangere, 1852.
  • The Dance of Salome, 1856.
  • King Solomon supervises the building of the Temple, 1860.
  • The Ascension, 1861.
  • Moses returns from Mt. Sinai, 1863.
  • The Lost Silver, 1865.
  • Left panel and Right panel of "The Rich Man's Feast,"  1865.
  • Ministering to the sick and Suffer the little children, 1907.
  • The Finding of the Savior in the Temple, 1910.
  • I especially like depictions of angels and people playing musical instruments.  Here are a few such portrayals in glass -- 

  • The King's Musicians, 1857.
  • King David, 1875.
  • Te Deum, 1893.
  • Angel Musician (left) and Angel Musician (right), 1910-12.
  • And a few modern windows --

  • Everlasting Life, 1978.
  • Letter G and Letter J from the "Alphabet of Flowers," 1980. 
  • Finally, these windows came from buildings other than churches --

  • Reynard, 1870 (from a house).
  • Lancelot and Elaine, 1910 (from a house).
  • Cherub-scribe and Diana the huntress, 1920 (from a hospital).
