Provenance: the artist's studio sale
The village of Framfield is mentioned in the Domesday Book, suggesting that there may have been a church on this site in the 11th century; however, the building of the existing church began in the early 13th century when Hempstead chapel was erected, a prelude to the much larger church that followed, consisting of a nave, north and south aisles, western tower, chancel, and chapels. Between 1200 and 1250, this new church emerged into the structure that survives unto the present day. A rare example of Gray’s early work, this design shows a more traditional approach to stained glass window design and centres on the figure of Jesus playing with children. In much of her later work, Gray eschewed this traditional, medieval style in favour of a more modern style.
Jane Gray A.R.C.A. (b.1931) is a British stained glass artist. She studied stained glass at the Kingston School of Arts (1949-51) and later at the Royal College of Art (1951-55) under Lawrence Lee. Lee was so impressed with Gray’s work that he asked her to work alongside him on the design of ten nave windows for Coventry Cathedral. This six-year-long design project culminated in their final installation in 1962 after the cathedral’s consecration. Gray was the first woman to become a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and has designed more than a hundred windows in private and public buildings, chapels and over forty churches across the country, including St Peter’s, Martindale, Shrewsbury Abbey, St Oswald, Oswestry and St Mary, Chirk. Gray’s designs mark a crucial turning point in the history of stained glass art as the Victorian style gave way to a modern, aesthetic. In her work, Gray navigates this shift with a style that, whilst distinctly modern, retains a deep rooted sense of the medieval. Despite many of her commissions being for church windows, stained glass design was not simply about religious depiction for Gray, but more about ‘colour, shapes, luminosity, [and] playing with rainbows’.
