Veronica Whall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Veronica Whall was a British stained glass artist, the daughter of Christopher Whall, a leader of the Arts & Crafts Movement in stained glass. At the age of 13 she had drawn part of a window for Gloucester Cathedral and she went on to become a successful stained glass artist and a director of Whall & Whall Ltd in London. Most of her work outside the United Kingdom are to be found in New Zealand. She was an expert in the use of Priors Slab glass which is of uneven texture and often has a variety of colours in one piece. Her windows in the Nurses Memorial Chapel, Christchurch use this material to great effect and are richly coloured. She created 72 windows for "King Arthur's Great Hall", Tintagel.
