Stained Glass at St Patrick's

Michael O Connor, stained glass artist operated a studio in Dublin until 1842, and in London thereafter. The windows at St Patrick's are from his London studio. There is a large portfolio of his work in the Buckinghamshire area documented here. The Gold Medal for Stained Glass was awarded to the O’Connor Studios, at the International Exhibition (1862) London. In 1998, the windows were examined by Ken Ryan of Abbey Stained Glass Studios, and renovation work was undertaken.
