Tour Scotland Photograph Angels Window Martyrs Church St Andrews

Tour Scotland photograph of the Angels stained glass window in Martyrs Church in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. Designed and executed by Herbert Hendrie of Edinburgh, this window was dedicated in 1936 by Miss Frances Warrack in memory of her sister, Harriet Warrack. The small window portrays a large angel blessing two smaller angels. Herbert Hendrie was born in Manchester, England in 1887. He trained at the Slade School of Art, London and the Royal College of Art, and as a pupil of Christopher Whitworth Whall. He taught at the Edinburgh College of Art for 20 years. He made use of the facilities of Lowndes and Drury, stained glass workers. Among his students were Sax Shaw and Willie Wilson, both of whom went on to become leading stained glass artists. He made two windows for Glasgow Cathedral, installed in 1946. Among his other works are windows in Scottish churches including St Leonards in St Andrews; St. John's, Perth, Perthshire; Brechin Cathedral; Paisley Abbey; and St. Michael's, Linlithgow. He died in 1946.
