Stained Glass in Cornwall
Cornwall has a wonderful selection of stained glass that can be found across the county in churches, museums, galleries and public buildings. Listed here are some of Cornwall’s stained glass ‘jewels’.
The research has been carried out as part of the ‘Celebrating Cornwall’s Stained Glass Heritage’ project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. This innovative community project has transformed Falmouth’s Municipal Buildings, home of Falmouth Art Gallery, Falmouth Town Council and Falmouth Library. The building has been brought back to its former glory with two magnificent new stained glass windows designed by Falcare (formerly Mencap) and excluded children, as well as a wall of fantastic new tiles all of which have been designed by local babies and toddlers (including babies of domestic abuse victims and teenage mothers).
We would like to thank all the volunteers on the project especially historical stained glass expert Michael Swift for compiling this list and providing the photography.
