Zusammenfassung: | Charlton, formerly in Kent and now a suburb of London, sits at the top of a hill overlooking the River Thames. The church of St Luke (fig. 1) is situated next to Charlton House, the imposing residence built in 1607–12 by Sir Adam Newton (d.1630), 1st baronet. It housed a fascinating ensemble of seventeenth- and early nineteenth-century glazing, the remains of which were assembled in a north aisle window c.1900. Several families, including a number of the church’s patrons, used glass to assert their association with the locality and the church, as well as their extensive familial networks, which spread from Church to State, and across the newly United Kingdom. |
