Stained Glass Windows

Stained Glass Windows, Kirkleatham Almshouses

An open day was arranged 28/29th July 2012 to view the recently restored window in the chapel of the Kirkleatham Almshouses. The window was on the verge of collapse until a year-long restoration was undertaken by York specialist Keith Barley at a cost of £35,000. The windows date from the 1740s and are the work of William Price, who’s face is depicted in the centre of the scene. The central panel is a nativity scene designed by Sebatiano Ricci, the right panel depicts Sir William Turner in his robes as the Lord Mayor of London. On the left his elder bother John Turner, a serjeant-at-law.
