Veronica Whall

Veronica Mary Whall (1887–1967) was an important British stained glass artist, painter, and illustrator associated with the Arts and Crafts movement.

In 1922, Whall and her father co-founded a stained glass studio together, which she managed for nearly thirty years after his death in 1924.

She showed artistic talent at a very young age and was only 13 when she drew Saint Catherine as part of a window for the Lady Chapel of Gloucester Cathedral.

[3] In 1912 she illustrated and coloured by hand a limited edition book for John Lyly entitled Cupid & Campaspe.

[8] She also wrote, illustrated and coloured by hand her own book, The Story of Peterkin in the Wood, which was printed by her brother Hew B. Whall in 1912.

[6][page needed] Many of her works outside the United Kingdom are to be found in New Zealand, such as those at the Christchurch Nurses' Memorial Chapel,Commissioned by Joseph Davis, Whall made for Whalley Methodist Church, St. Francis of Assisi and The Madonna and Child windows.

As of 1997 it is considered to be the largest collection of stained glass panels of King Arthur made in the 20th century and a great example of Arts and Crafts workmanship.
