Window created by Archibald John Davies (1877-1953), Bromsgrove Guild, 1921.

Archibald John Davies was born in London but the family moved to Moseley, Birmingham in 1884. He studied under Henry Payne at the Birmingham Municipal Central School of Art and set up his own studio in Moseley in about 1900. In 1906 Davies moved to Bromsgrove, Worcestershire and established his studio in the premises of the Bromsgrove Guild.

Archibald John Davies, more commonly known as A.J.Davies was one of the finest stained glass artists of the Arts & Crafts period in Britain and the most significant artist in the medium in the renowned Bromsgrove Guild.

Based in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, many of Archibald Davies's finest works are to be found in his native county, with others spread sporadically throughout the Midlands and beyond.

Davies's style is characterised by richly detailed figurative work in heavy, often stippled glass painting, all executed with the finest materials and rich handmade glass, often with a surprisingly limited but strong palette.
