Church Recorders are The Arts Society volunteers who make records of the contents of our national churches, thereby promoting the recognition and preservation of the rich artistic heritage to be found in places of worship of all religions. The items are described in detail and their history researched. All the material is then compiled into a book illustrated with photographs and drawings. This is presented to the church and copies are sent to national institutions.

 Stained Glass of William Morris 

Two members of The Arts Society Cheam have for some three years been, with The Arts Society Chipstead, making a recording of All Saints Church Banstead.  One item of especial interest is the west window made by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co in 1863 which is a very early one for the firm.  There are two main figures, Ezekiel drawn by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and St John the Baptist drawn by William Morris.  The surroundings and heraldic emblems  of the donors (the Lamberts) were designed by Philip Webb.

This is just one of 19 splendid stained glass windows made by several important Victorian firms after the restoration of the church by AG Street.
