[2] In the census of March 1851, Clutterbuck is more fully described as an "Artist on painted glass, employing two men, five boys and one girl."
[6][7] He began working in stained glass in the 1830s, with the commission for his earliest known window, at St Digain's Church, Llangernyw, Conwy, being 1830.
A large example of his work is the east window of St Anne's Limehouse, a church by Nicholas Hawksmoor which had suffered fire damage in 1850.
[9] Examples of his work may be found in Sydney, Australia, including the east window of the Garrison Church, Millers Point.
[12] Clutterbuck's windows are Classical depictions of Biblical narratives, with dynamic action and dramatic characterisation.
