Excerpt from An Attempt to Identify the Arms Formerly Existing in the Windows of the Parish Church and Austin Friary at Warrington
"Such is the despight, not so much of time as of malevolent people, to all antiquities, especially of this kind, that it may be well to place on record what we know of these family memorials." - Weever's Funeral Monuments.
The memorials which a past age has left us, apt as they are at times to be overlooked, are still worthy of remembrance, for, by linking the present with the past and awakening the imagination, they break the dull routine of every-day business, and, by thus giving us, as it were, a new sense, they seem to make life both longer and more pleasant.
The painting and staining of glass for windows, an art which has some connexion with the following pages, though not ascending to classic times, may still lay claim to a respectable antiquity, since the decorated windows of the Abbey Church of Tegernsee, in Upper Bavaria, which were executed as early as the latter half of the tenth century, shew that the art had already passed beyond the period of infancy; while, if the tradition be true which is existing in one of our good English families, that Charlemagne, from whom they claim ancestry, was its patron, and was also the first to introduce painted windows into churches, the art had not only an illustrious patron, but its origin is carried back to the very beginning of the ninth century. In the early stages of the art a painted window was only produced by making a pattern in outline with finely-made leaden frames, into the grooves of which pieces of stained glass were then inserted and fitted. In this respect, however, the revival of the art in modern times, when pictures exhibiting the painters art on sheets of glass of almost any size can be produced with little or none of the original clumsy framing, must be considered to have made a great advance upon the art in its first original.
