Pippa Blackall, 2016
Reason for highlighting

This window is immediately appealing and the use of different stained glass techniques is very skilful.  It is probably the only representation of the Baptism of King Clovis in England!

Other comments

A second window by Pippa Blackall, depicting The Creation was installed in this church in 2018 and is a great hit with the local schoolchildren.

Artist/maker notes

Pippa Blackall (b.1949) was taught by Francis Spear (1902-79). Through his charismatic teaching and support, together with an award from the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and Painters of Glass, she developed the confidence to set out as a freelance artist. That career now spans more than 30 years.  Her work is mainly found in East Anglia.
