King & Son, Norwich

The business archives of G. King & Son, Norwich (founded 1927), were purchased by the Norfolk Record Office in 2004 (acc. 2004/53). The same year, other material relating to stained glass from the same company was purchased by the Glaziers’ Trust of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers. This material was deposited on loan with the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2005. The CVMA (GB) is grateful to the Glaziers’ Trust for permission to make the inventory of this material here.

Roundels

Following the publication of his Catalogue of Netherlandish and North European Roundels in Britain, Cole continued to collect materials on roundels; his archive is now at the University of York. Three documents are made available here: text Cole prepared on further roundels that were not included in the Catalogue, which was ultimately intended for publication; a transcription of the annotations Cole made in his own copy of the Catalogue; and a catalogue of the archive. Neither the text nor the annotations have been edited in any way.

Paint Loss in Nineteenth-Century Glass

The aim of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of severe paint loss from windows of the mid- to late nineteenth century, commonly known as the ‘borax problem’. Focussing on three case study windows made by Hardman & Co. of Birmingham and installed at Sherborne Abbey, Beverley Minster and All Saints’ Church Emscote, the study addresses historical, technical and conservation aspects of severe paint loss.
