 FOR SALE : VICTORIAN STAIN GLASS WINDOW
a truly magnificent traditional victorian stained glass window made up in six sections and consisting of over 900 individual pieces of glass, each hand stained and kiln fired.
the centre pieces of this stunningly beautiful example of antique craftsmanship contains the coat of arms of the township of rochdale, lancashire, england, in the united kingdom, of which depicts eight birds, along with the woolsack still used to this day by the speaker in the houses of parliament. plus the inscription: “crede signo”- this translates from latin to “believe in the sign”.
the second coat of arms has a fluer de lys, one of which is above the helmet with visor from the suit of armour of a knight, this would have had noble connections. the inscription on this coat of arms reads “je sui prest” which translates to “i am ready”- this inscription has a french connection.
this window is a most impressive work of art that would grace any period style home or anyone looking to renovate with a theme of english heritage.
dimensions
the window as a whole measures 42”wide, x 117”high, and would be best suited to be re-installed into stone mullions and transoms. each of the 4 panels measure: 181/2”wide, x 421/2”high, plus two centre pieces at: 181/2” x 181/2”.
the stained glass panels have been removed and restored from their original windows at ‘beaumonds’, rochdale, lancashire, england.
‘beaumonds’ is the original mill-owners house; the owner was leonard tweedale, of tweedale & smalley and the coats of arms is his.
this window can be fitted in the country of your choice, by the traditional methods used when it was first fitted in england by stained glass craftsmen. to the right buyer this magnificent window could be worth over 10 times the asking price.

Interested to see the sale of the window and staggered by the price! Leonard Tweedale was my grandfather. I must point out however that he bought the house in 1920 and that the window was pre-existing before he bought it and the Coats of Arms are not his. The previous owner and quite probably the man who had the house built was a Mr Leach. The Coats of Arms therefore are more likely to be his.
