Hi, I have just had this image sent to me by Julie L. Sloan, LLC Consultants in Stained Glass . It is a better image of my Grandfather featured on a soon to be restored window and shows him holding a panel of stained glass .
 She is happy for her image to be shown here and if you look in the tracery you can see the initials J H .
Regards Patrick.

Intriguing! Is there another story to these windows?

Patrick that is a superb window. Do you have a full list of all of the stained glass produced by your grandfather yet?

Patrick, that is so cool!  You must be so proud.  Did you know your grandfather well?  Did you know about this window? 

That's a fascinating article.  It's going to take them as long to restore the windows as it did to build the church.  What a project!

Hi Anne and Kristi,
 I am going to contact Dennis Hadley who I think has a complete list of all his windows. When I have the list i will upload it somewhere with all details. It was after reading one of Dennis Hadley's articles that I discovered the Virtues and Vices windows. He is a mine of information but at the moment he is caring full time for his wife who is very ill.
Until Julie Sloane contacted me I had no idea about the self portrait and as you can imagine It was very exciting to see it. My Grandfather was a worker hollic and the only time I remember seeing him was when he was home working in his study . I remember watching him put the black lines onto a drawing showing the lead . He used to work very quickly , a bit like Rolf Harris ! He died when i was eight years old.
Regards Patrick.
