Jane Gray ARCA, FMGP (b.1931). Studied at the Kingston School of Art, Surrey and later worked as an assistant to the Head of Stained Glass, Lawrence Stanley Lee, at the Royal College of Art. Noted early work includes under Lee during his tenure as Chief Designer of the ten stained glass windows for the new Coventry Cathedral. This six-year-long design project culminated in their final installation in 1962 after the cathedral’s consecration.

Other commissions quickly followed, including windows for St. Peter’s Church in Cumbria, St Bernadette’s and St Margaret’s at Uxbridge and many private commissions for clients. Thirty years ago, Jane moved to a cottage in Shropshire and took advantage of the additional space to set up a new workshop in Shrawardine. It was during this time that Gray created the St. Winefride and St. Benedict windows on display in the Shrewsbury Abbey, coupled with numerous other local commissions such the east window at St. Peter’s on Monkmoor Road, a memorial window in the Fitz church and a 50^th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings window in St. Mary’s, Chirk.

Condition Report
S - the line running through the centre does not appear to be a crack, more like a manufacturing flaw. This was considered one of Jane's 'seconds', the line cannot be felt with the finger and does not affect the structural integrity.

A- some slight nibbles to edges. This has several of the same sort of visible lines as the above.

AW/JW - nibbles to edges and chip between 2-3 o clock 

No further signs of damages.
D and NR panels- again nibbles around the edges as these are both unframed.
