Tailor’s Hall Window

The Tailors’ Hall was on the north side of Milford Street, Salisbury. The stained glass represents St Christopher carrying the infant Christ on his shoulder across a river. St Christopher was the patron saint of travellers and the name sometimes given to the tailors’ mascot, the Salisbury Giant.

Under King Henry VIII the Reformation led to the destruction and damage of much religious stained glass, including that from Salisbury. This item may have survived due to being in a guild hall, rather than in a church.

This window dates to the 15th century.
