St Edmund in Painted Glass

The Stained Glass of St Edmund at Greensted Church (1881)

Extract from Transactions of the Essex Archaeological Society, New Series, Volume 2 (1881), page 394.

During the meeting Mr. Andrew Hamilton exhibited some interesting facsimile drawings from his collection of painted glass, also a drawing of a head of St. Edmund from a window that was to be seen at one time in the church of St. James, Bury St. Edmunds, but it is now in a private collection.

He had thought, he said, that this might be like the head in Greensted Church; but Captain Budworth told him it was not.

Captain Budworth said there was no similarity between the two. This was a three-quarter face, while that at Greensted was in profile.
