Stained Glass Work at Foxcroft
Shaun Castle 05 July 2007
Stained glass work to gallery window
The most prominent stained glass work at Foxcroft is to the arched gallery window over the principal staircase, with its detailed naturalistic motifs assumed to pictorialise Haverigg to which the window looks, meaning from the Old Norse, the ridge where oats are grown. The stained glass is in the tradition of Morris, Burnes-Jones and notably Holiday, who had completed his commission at Muncaster Castle just prior to Foxcroft’s construction.
