Edward Woore

Edward Woore (1880 - 1960) was a stained glass artist.

Woore^[1]was part of a group of artists trained by Christopher Whall, a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Fellow apprentices included Louis Davis and Karl Parsons. Together with Parsons he helped illustrate Whall’s book, Stained Glass Work (1905). He was a close friend and fellow apprentice of Arnold Robinson, who took over the stained glass company of Joseph Bell and Sons in Bristol, for which Woore often undertook commissions.
