The Livery Pages
 Welcome to The Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass Website
We are one of the Ancient Livery Companies of the City of London.
  • Our origins date back to 1328, the reign of Edward III.
  • Our prime focus is on the art and craft of historic and contemporary stained and decorative glass for buidings.
  • One fifth of our members are practising artists.
Our key objectives are to;
  • Provide technical and financial support for the restoration and conservation of historic and otherwise important stained glass.
  • Encourage young artists and craftsmen to develop their skills and knowledge through a programme of competitions and awards
  • Assist in the relocation of historic stained glass from deconsecrated churches to other churches or suitable public buildings
  • Support local schools in the London Borough of Southwark.
  • Maintain an active social programme which places special emphasis on enjoying stained glass
  • Uphold the traditions of the City of London
