| Object history | In an account book of the firm is an entry dated 14 November 1854 recording an order ‘For Aston Church An East Window of 3 lights & tracery’. Cornish’s Guide to Birmingham…, 1855 and 1867 editions, notes that the west window of the south aisle was erected and many of the smaller windows were restored from Pugin’s designs. The design varies in some details from the finished window. The window, for which this drawing is a design, was produced by John Hardman & Co. |
