Hugh Arnold
Hugh Arnold (1872 – 11 August 1915) was an English stained glass artist. Arnold was educated at the Slade School of Fine Art before attending the London County Council (LCC) Central School of Arts and Crafts where he studied under Christopher Whall from 1989 to 1903. He designed stained glass windows for James Powell & Sons and also did some independent work. Arnold died at Gallipoli while an officer in the Northumberland Fusiliers. Some of Arnold's works were: St Cuthbert in Kirkby-in-Furness, Cumbria – This church has an Arnold window in the chancel area which depicts St Aidan and St Cuthbert. St Barnabas in Great Tey, Essex – In 1900 a window which was made by James Powell & Sons to Arnold's design. It is a five-light window east window which depicted angels. St John the Baptist in Wimbledon, Outer London – In 1914 another Arnold-designed window was executed by James Powell & Sons. It is a two-light window in the south side of the nave. The window was created in memory of Charles Thomas Arnold, Hugh's father, who was one of the first trustees of the church. In one light, Arnold depicts Christ in Gethsemane with an angel and includes the text "Not my will, but thine be done". In the other light The Last Supper is depicted with the text "This is my blood which is shed for you". Holy Trinity in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire – In 1902 James Powell & Sons executed an Arnold-designed three-light window in the south east area of the church. Church of the Holy Cross in Crediton, Devon – In 1913 Arnold designed windows that reflected the church's history. The parish church dates mainly to the 15th century but has some 12th- and 13th-century remnants. In a roundel, Arnold depicts the Anglo-Saxon Cathedral which Eadulph had begun to build on the site of the present church. Below is another roundel where the Charter granted by King Edward the Elder is depicted. The coats of arms of the donors, Mr. and Miss Ingram Walker, are included in the design. Hugh Arnold was their brother-in-law.
