Birmingham - St Martin in the Bull Ring - The Burne Jones Window

            This window is a double treasure as it combines the work of the pre-Raphaelite craftsmen Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.  Installed in 1877, it is one of the earliest examples of the work of the pre-Raphaelite masters.

The Burne Jones Window.

This glorious masterpiece is one of the treasures of St Martin’s.  Installed in 1877 by William Morris from designs created by Burne Jones, it is one of the earliest examples of their work and contains some unique features.

The window survived the blitz by a matter of hours.  The church council had decided, in an extraordinary lapse, that if it were destoryed it could be replaced.  This so annoyed Bishop Barnes that he ordered them to preserve it.  The window was promptly removed, carefully packed and put in the south porch ready to take to storage.  That same night the bombs fell, destroying every other window in the church.
