Artist/maker notes

Theodora Salusbury (1875-1956) was an artist and craftswoman in the Arts & Crafts style. After training with some of the best artists in the field, she worked as a stained glass artist from her studios in Cornwall and London. Her windows date mostly from between the two World Wars, and are to be found in nearly thirty churches in England and Wales, several of them in Leicestershire, her home county.

The impact of her windows comes through her use of brilliant colour and her skilled representation of the figures she portrayed. Most of her windows bear her signature mark of a peacock.
