View of the Giles window in Adel Church after corrections in 1957. The window was inserted in 1681 and painted by Henry Giles of York, one of the most famous stained glass artists of the day. The design was the royal arms of King Charles II surrounded by the arms of Henry Arthington, patron of the living, William Breary, then Rector and Thomas Kirke of Cookridge, who was a benefactor of the church. The window was removed to the new vestry, built during the restoration of the church in 1879. During this removal the coats of arms were mixed up. The window was finally restored to its original design in 1957. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Giles window Adel Church | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
