context_page_description: Henry Holiday was a British historical genre and landscape painter, stained-glass designer, illustrator and sculptor. He is considered to be a member of the Pre-Raphaelite school of art.
context_section_description: In 1861, Holiday accepted the job of stained glass window designer for Powell's Glass Works - after Burne-Jones had left to work for Morris & Co. During his time there he fulfilled over 300 commissions, mostly for customers in the USA. He left in 1891 to set up his own glass works in Hampstead, producing stained glass, mosaics, enamels and sacerdotal objects.
  Holiday's stained glass work can be found all over Britain but some of his best is at the chapel of Worcester College, Oxford (c.1865), Westminster Abbey (the Isambard Kingdom Brunel memorial window, 1868), St Luke's Church, Kentish Town, St Mary Magdalene, Paddington (1869) and Chartered Accountants' Hall, Moorgate. In 2018 four of his stained glass windows were reinstalled in Chartered Accountants' Hall after being lost for almost 50 years following their removal for an extension in 1970.
