Stained Glass Windows
in the Peak District
Geoffrey Webb (1879 -1954)
Geoffrey Webb was a designer of stained glass windows, church furnishings and metalwork, born at Turnham Green, London. He trained at Westminster School of Art, subsequently working with Charles Eamer Kempe and Herbert Bryans before setting up his own studio in East Grinstead.
One of his earliest commissions was for the stained glass in Woolwich Town Hall (1904). Examples of his work may be found throughout the United Kingdom, in Denmark and in South Africa (for an extensive list of Webb’s works, see Wikipedia).
His window designs can be identified by a spider’s web with his initials, usually in the bottom right-hand corner. He also designed the Village Sign for Mayfield, East Sussex, which was placed second in the 1920 Daily Mail Village Signs Competition. He was the nephew of the architect Sir Aston Webb and brother of Christopher Webb, also a stained glass artist.
The Webb family has continued the tradition of arts and crafts as stonemasons, ecclesiastical silversmiths, and letter designers and carvers.
