This talk uncovers the remarkable - and ultimately tragic - history of one of the earliest stained glass collaborations between Philip Webb and William Morris. Created for Sandroyd, Webb’s second architectural commission, these delicate hand-painted panels once formed a striking feature in the home of artist John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, a key figure in the Pre-Raphaelite circle.

From the artistic vision behind Sandroyd to the unfortunate vandalism that shattered the glass, this story traces the journey of these rare Arts and Crafts treasures. Discover how fragments were rescued and painstakingly conserved by the William Morris Society, and how they are now preserved and displayed at Kelmscott House, continuing to inspire visitors more than 150 years later.
