This lecture brilliantly illustrates London’s history through the stained glass windows found in its churches and livery halls

This lecture brilliantly illustrates London’s history through the stained glass windows found in its churches and livery halls, providing a unique insight into the milestones which have made up London’s story. As well as 18th, 19th and 20th century windows, we look at the work of contemporary glass makers.

THE ARTS SOCIETY ACCREDITED LECTURER

Mrs Anna Warrillow

I graduated as a Blue Badge Guide early in 2013 and won an award for the best new guide at Westminster Abbey. Since then I have been conducting bespoke private tours for discerning visitors to London. I established my own guiding company Canvas and Stone Tours in 2018 (www.canvasandstonetours.co.uk)

My background and passion is Art & History. I studied for my BA in History of Art & Italian at the University of Sussex and did my MA in Renaissance Decorative Arts & Design at the Royal College of Art. 

I worked for 6 years as a curator in the Sculpture Department at the Victoria & Albert Museum as well as in smaller collections such as the Henry Moore Family Trust. As well as guiding I am an adjunct lecturer at Richmond The American International University in London where I teach undergraduates The History of London. 

I lecture regularly for art, history and academic societies as well as providing training courses and Continual Professional Development courses for students and guide members of the Institute of Tourist Guides.
