Walter Janes and Frances White Census

Cambridge 2000 home page

This is a project to create a census of Walter Janes and Frances White "stained glass" windows, mosaics and other glass-related items, which are located in what could be considered to be publicly viewable buildings, mainly churches. This includes sites that no longer have any items. The information is available in various ways:

• Sites sorted by region / city
• Items sorted by date
• Sites shown on a map
• Sites sorted by rating (3 stars, etc.)
• Photographs of items
• Items sorted by category ("Angel of Resurrection", etc.)
• Mosaic items ("scenic" and "architectural")
• Miscellaneous information (glossary, etc.)

Walter Janes (1869-1945) worked for Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company before setting out on his own in 1894. His sister, (Mary) Frances Janes White (1861-1945), designed many of the figural windows. They lasted in the stained glass business until around 1913.

The main sources for the compilation are newspaper and journal articles.

Current count: number of sites = 20, number of items = 28, number of item photos = 26.
