List of Christopher Whall works in cathedrals and minsters information


This is a list of the stained glass works of Christopher Whall (1849–1924) in cathedrals and minsters, reflecting Whall's intent to reflect the inspiration of nature in this art.

To experience the Lady Chapel is rather like being inside a great jewelled casket, for the glazing combines a profusion of deep, vibrant colours with a sparkling, silvery framework of canopies in pure white glass. The effect is cleverly achieved by a judicious "orchestration" of colour-harmonies in the selection of raw material. In Whall's evocative words, the artist-craftsman 'tries all his effects in the glass itself; he sketches in glass. He has all the colours burning round him, singing to him to use them, sounding all their chords. "This looks better". "That is a pleasant harmony." "Ah! But this makes it sing!"

— Whall's words in regard to Gloucester Cathedral, from Aglo with resplendent colour
