JOHN PRUDDE : " KING'S GLAZIER " (12 S. ii. 430). May I refer your correspondent to The Antiquary, August, 1915, p. 291, where the question of Prudde's office is dealt with in relation to the Patent of Utynam for glazing the King's Chapels at Windsor ^and King's College, Cambridge ? Whether Prudde was superseded by Utynam or to work under his directions is uncertain. On July 20, 1461, Patent 1 Ed. IV. pt. 1, m. 16, Thomas Bye, citizen and glazier of London, was appointed to the glaziery of the King's -works, but by 1500, and probably earlier, the influence of the Flemish School had reasserted itself Barnard Flower being at work at Westminster and Greenwich with Andreano Andrew and William Ashe (Lethaby, ' Westm.,' p. 238), and soon after this we find a Flemish colony established firmly at Southwark. I think there can be no doubt that the introduction of this foreign element into, English stained glass is connected with the dispute over the Fairford glass, which was probably smuggled into ^England notwithstanding the protective Act of 2 Ric. III., cap. 2, which forbade the importation of painted glasses, i.e., ready- made stained-glass windows.

Prof. W. R. Lethaby in his ' Westminster Abbey and the King's Craftsmen ' (1906), p. 304, says :

" John Pruddle, or Prudde, of Westminster, wa s another famous glazier, who is named in the Eton accounts in 1445-6 as chief glazier to the King. About 1450 Prudde glazed the Beau- champ Chapel at Warwick. About the same time he supplied glass for GreenwicH Palace ' nourished with marguerites, hawthorn buds, and daisies,' the flowers of Henry VI. and his queen.

"In 1440-41 (19 Hen. VI.) John Prudde was ap- pointed to ' the office of glazier of our works,' "to hold it ' as Roger Gkmcestre ' had held it, with a shed called the glazier's lodge, standing upon the west side within our palace of West- minster.' A. R. BAYLEY.

PORTRAITS IN STAINED GLASS (12 S. ii. 172, -211, 275, 317, 337, 374, 458). The north ^transept window, Luton Church, Beds : Rev. James O'Neill, B.D., and Elizabeth O'Neill.

Above the tomb of Bishop King, last Abbot of Osney and first Bishop of Oxford, in south aisle of Christ Church Cathedral is an old window with his portrait.

In the vestibule of the Library at All Souls' College, Oxford, are portraits of Henry VI., Archbishop Chichele, and others. I think there is also some portrait glass in the chapel and hall.

All Saints' Church, York, has in its east window Nicholas Blakeburn, Mayor 1429, and his wife, and also Nicholas Blakeburn junior, Sheriff of York, and his wife.

In the west oriel of the hall of Christ's College, Cambridge, are figures representing the benefactors and distinguished members of the College.

In the Chapel of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, are figuras of John Harvard and other College members.

The porch to the Lady Chapel at Liverpool Cathedral has portraits of modern ladies.

A modern portrait in stained glass may be seen ii.i the centre light of the chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the Carmelite Church, Kensington. Below the Madonna and Child is a round portrait of Herbert Railton, a benefactor of the church. I am unable to supply any details of the erection of the window, but no doubt the Prior or any one of the Fathers would give full particulars.

It is worth noting that one lancet re- presents St. Herbert, a figure who very rarely appears in art of any kind.

MONTAGUE SUMMERS, F.R.S.L.

In the east window of St. Peter, Hungate, Norwich, is the effigy of Master Tho. Andrew, the last rector to be presented by the college of St. Mary-in-the-Fields before its suppression. He died in 1468.

HUNGARY HILL, STOURBRIDGE (12 S. ii. 430). Harborne Hill in Birmingham was in time past called Hungry- Hill, and the name has generally been held simply to mean barren land. It is alluded to, with a slight difference in name, in Grafton's ' Chronicle,' where, speaking of " woe- waters," the writer says there is one

" vij. mile a this syde the castle of Dodley, in the place called Hungerevale ; that whenne it betokenethe battayle it rennys foule and trouble watere, and when betokenythe derth or pesty- lence, it rennyth as clere as any watere."

This luckless water is running still, but whether foul or clear it is little worth while to inquire, since it is equally bad either way. HOWARD S. PEARSON.

A full answer to this query will be found on p. 74 of ' Worcestershire Place-Names,' by the late W. H. Duignan, published in 1905. A. C. C.
