There's so much stained glass around.
Churches, pubs, shops, houses etc.
And it's so easy to photograph.
Just put the camera on Auto and make sure the flash is off.

All the original windows - as well as the body of the church itself - were destroyed in the war.
So this window is post-war.

ADW, you're quite poetic!.

Great pics so far.

Interesting thread indeed, Philip. Thanks for starting it.

This is the stained glass lighting the staircase in Battlecrease House, 7 Riversdale Road, Aigburth. The house was once the home of James and Florence Maybrick of notorious fame.

Apart from the Cathedrals and St Nicholas, which other churches are open during the week?

I was inside Walton Church on Saturday (a community open day), so will post some pics later.

Thanks for the kind comment.

Apart from service times, unfortunately most churches are locked during the week. So its best to enquire at each church as to their mid week servivce times. Some of the best stained glass in Liverpool is by the 19th C pre-Raphaelite artist Burne Jones. Good examples are at Ullet Rd Unitarian church and All Hallows Allerton. The latter church is open to the public for general viewing on Tuesdays 2-4pm. Not sure about Ullet Rd Church

http://www.allhallowsallerton.org.uk/

http://www.ullet-road-church.org.uk/

There's some excellent 19th C stained glass at St Margaret's Prince's Rd Toxteth but the main east window is a post WW2 replacement. The windows reflect the wealth of its late 19th C congregation. This is open for a service 10 am Wednesday and usually all Friday afternoon.

http://www.acny.org.uk/venue.php?V=5348

St Agnes Ullet Rd has some interesting late 19th and early 20th c stained glass. Check with the church of their opening times. Their web site is somewhat out of date.

http://www.stagnes.org.uk/

St Barnabas Penny Lane has some interesting early 20th C stained glass including a magnificient east Window. This church is open Tuesdays 10.30 am to Midday as well as Thursday 10 am to 11.30. The latter is a service time.

http://pennylaneliverpool.merseyside.org

All Saints Childwall is usually open from 2.30 pm on Sundays for general visitors and has a service at 10.30 on Thursdays. Stained galss is mainly mid to late 19th C.

http://www.allsaints-childwall.org/

Their web site says they're open on Thursday and Friday aftrenoons. I don't think this is the case anymore. Do check.

Thanks for the information, Taffy.
What would be the reaction if I went to a mid-week service (or even a service on Sunday) and afterwards asked to take photos of a church's stained glass?

I've just bent the rules of the flickr group "Old Liverpool" to include stained glass, and would love to have your beautiful photos included.
See link below.

I am continuing to enjoy the images of the stained glass in this thread. Good work, everyone. :handclap:

I can't see there being a problem really. Just ask the vicar if it's OK and snap away.

I'd prefer that the photos I've put up on this site not be used on flickr. Sorry about that. No doubt you'll take your own in due course.

Sudley House has just been reopened after about a year's closure for renovations etc. This photo is of the stained glass in the entrance porch. Sadly it's been slightly damaged by stone throwing.

Those photos are brilliant, Ive always wanted to go to the Church in Everton, think i will now, after seeing the stained glass windows.

Debbie,

I assume you mean St George at the top of the Everton escarpment. It's a delightful old church. A lot of the stained glass was destroyed by WW2 bombing but there are some survivals. The main large east window is a 1950s replacement. Here are a couple general shots I took a few years ago.

Thank you for sharing those excellent pictures.

Its a loverly church and its got a lot off history.

Now Wirral Museum. Well worth a visit.

Great photos, Taffy. :PDT11

I suspect the subject of your last photo is a religious figure, Jesus perhaps, but the medieval look of a king would fit with the satire that I wrote about King John's charter (http://www.poem800.com/liver.php?poem=288) for the Liverpool 800 Poems site. Check it out. :unibrow:

It's a King. The Latin text seems to refer to a King Alexander of Scotland. My Latin is a bit rusty. No doubt someone can translate.

Almost completely dark, so I used flash, and was surprised that the detail in the glass is visible.

see and you weren't bothered about seeing the inside lol :PDT10

the sign outside says 12-3 (or 12-2 there were 2 different ones) Mon-to Fri.

I don't know how long it's open for though. it's a quid to go in. there's a strange quietness inside despite it's location and lack of windows. there were art students in there today sketching various bits of the church. there's also old photos of the church and the city during the blitz.

the entrance is on the Leece St side towards Berry St end of church.
