PATTERNS FROM "A BOOKE OF SUNDRY DRAUGHTES."
BY WALTER GEDDE (1615).
The finest examples of painted glass of the early part of the sixteenth century are the splendid windows at King's College Chapel, which were the work of Englishmen. There are also portions of the beautiful glass from the ruined Chapel of the Holy Ghost at Basingstoke, still preserved at the church of Basingstoke, and at the Vyne; and there are three windows in the apse of the chapel of that house. In addition to these examples, there are several windows at St. Neot's Church in Cornwall, the character of which inclines more to the Perpendicular than the Renaissance; there is the east window of St. Margaret's, Westminster; and there are fragments at Balliol and Queen's Colleges, Oxford, and at St. James's, Bury St. Edmund's. [29] The ornament forming the background to the figures in these windows is all similar in character to that which adorns other work of the same period.
[29]See The History of Design in Painted Glass, by N. H. J. Westlake, 1894, in which are numerous drawings of portions of the glass mentioned in the text.
