Stained Glass Windows at St Alban’s Church

An illustrated talk about our stained-glass windows by Churchwarden Chris Smith, featuring: the magnificent clerestory windows above the high Altar by Birmingham artists Henry Payne and Sidney Meteyard, themed on three canticles from Morning Prayer; a late window by Morris & Co; Victorian glass by John Hardman & Co. and Clayton and Bell including saints of Britain and Ireland and Pollock family memorials; two windows by little-known artist Frank Albert Smallpiece, rescued from the former Church of St Patrick, Frank Street. You can look round the church before and after the talk. The church is open from 5pm to 8pm.

The main entrance is up steps from Stanhope Street, but step-free access to the church is via a path beside the church from a gate on Stanhope Street. Toilets, including wheelchair friendly one, are available.
