Lecture Programme:

Layman's Guide to Glass No.36: Martin Harrison.
Tues 2 November, 2004

Welcome to our website

We are one of the Ancient Livery Companies of the City of London, the first mention of the Company being in the list of Guilds from December 1328, the second year of Edward III's reign.

In the 21st century 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
  • Encourage a greater appreciation of historic and modern architectural glass through our lecture programme
  • Uphold the traditions of the City of London
