At times we receive phone calls from individuals who are moving or downsizing. They have stained glass windows they don’t know what to do with. We usually do not purchase such windows, but offer the opportunity to make a donation. They donate the windows to us, we will do repairs (if needed) and put them up for sale in the store. When they sell, we accumulate the money and make a donation to a special animal shelter.  There’s something we really love about giving old things a second chance — whether it’s a beautiful stained glass window or an animal...

Restoring antique stained glass windows from homes in Manchester, and around Lancashire England, holds significant historical and cultural value. Manchester, a city central to the Industrial Revolution, experienced rapid urban growth in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, decorative stained glass became a hallmark of middle-class Victorian and Edwardian homes. These windows often featured vibrant floral patterns, heraldic symbols, and geometric motifs, offering insight into the artistic preferences and social aspirations of the era. Each window tells a story, not only of craftsmanship but also of the families who once lived behind them. As the city has...

We invite you to visit us at The Stonehouse of Campbellville to immerse yourself in the colourful beauty of traditional stained glass windows. Once does not need to be spiritual to enjoy the art.

This window is from the Methodist Church in Bradford, UK, opened April 10, 1904. We purchased the window from Bingley Antiques before they closed. This church had seating for 2,200 and was known as the 'Methodist Cathedral of the North'. This building was the most important part of a 20 acre site that specialized in finished woolen garments. the area became known as 'Little Germany conservation area'. Tt was vacated by the 1980's and suffered a major fire in 1996. The building has now been developed into apartments and retail space. We have attached several pictures showing the window insitu...

Take a tour of our newly renovated Light Room! Having previously hosted larger windows, we revamped it to showcase some stunning Edwardian and Victorian restored windows.

The Stonehouse of Campbellville has been operating since 1976. During that time we have witnessed the closing of several Toronto stained glass 'institutions'. These studios became centres for artisans who produced the bulk of locally made stained glass windows. The most recent loss involves the closing of ARTISTIC GLASS. This studio was founded in 1969 by Joseph Aigner, a third generation stained glass artist. He immigrated to Canada from Germany, having honed his craft in several major European cities. The store was part of the Dundas St. W. community in Toronto. Artistic Glass reached out to us to offer us...

Thirty years ago we acquired stunning Dutch windows from an antique importer in the Grimsby area. Those windows have since all been sold. This Fall we bought a collection of windows and doors from a different antique importer. He use to import in containers of antiques from Holland, and his last container arrived approximately 30 years ago. Like many of us he is down sizing and is tired of moving things from one place to another. We are now restoring, and reframing the windows. Our restoration artists have been hard at work reinforcing the stained glass windows in the doors....

From rags to riches, as they say. This stunning Victorian era window needed a lot of extra love. A small rebuild of a missing segment, shattered glass, and a fresh boarder gave this 120 year old window from Northern England a new sparkle. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjzkkxHwzo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

"How to ruin a Victorian door" 1950's style. Come and see how an antique stained glass door was DYI'd to hide the beautiful art.

These windows (now SOLD) were part of a collection of antique windows we imported from England.  They were purchased in the city of Burnley (north of Manchester).  We were told that these windows were removed from a mill that made uniforms for various regiments in the British Army.  The owner commissioned a window for each of the regiments that the mill serviced, with the appropriate crest and name.  The windows are approximately 100 years old and are in their original wooden frames (The "Royal Flying Corps" dates from 1912-1918).  The glass along the border of each window has a row...
