CHARLES EAMER KEMPE WEBPAGE It has been said that the most famous suffer the greatest reverse of fate. It is certainly true of Charles Eamer Kempe whose distinctive style in stained glass reached the peak of popularity in the late 19th century but for some years has had scant appreciation from modern critics. A notable exception is Owen Chadwick who states in his book ‘The Victorian Church’ that "the art attained its Victorian zenith not with the innovation of William Morris or Edward Burne-Jones but in the Tractarian artist Charles Eamer Kempe". There is scarcely a church in Britain within a radius of thirty miles that does not have a ‘Kempe’ window or some other example of his ecclesiastical furniture. In 1987 it was the 150th Anniversary of his birth and the Kempe Society, formed in his name in 1984, celebrated the occasion with an exhibition which visited the Cathedrals of Durham, Chichester and Southwark and the Church of St Botolphs Aldgate in the City of London and produced an informative leaflet which some of the following information is taken. Charles Eamer Kempe was born on June 29th. 1837, at Ovingdean Hall, near Brighton, the fifth son and youngest child of Nathaniel Kemp, (Charles preferred the older spelling of his surname later in life) a prominent figure in the county and his young second wife Augusta Caroline, the eligible daughter of Sir John Eamer, city magnate and former Lord Mayor of London. Brought up by a devout mother at the time of the Tractarian revival in the Church of England, Kempe hoped to become a clergyman but, as an undergraduate at Pembroke College, Oxford he realised his severe speech impediment would prevent him from passing on the Christian message by word of mouth. Providence, it would seem acted wisely for although the disappointment was great Charles found some sublimation in developing a latent artistic ability.

The Kempe Society Charles Eamer Kempe Stephen Dykes Bower MA,FRIBA, FSA; wrote the preface of the book on Kempe; a small extract is shown below. "Charles Eamer Kempe's service to the art of stained glass was fully matched by opportunities for its expression. His work was no more prolific than wide ranging and versatile. He was constantly enlarging his mind and creative powers by reproduction of the good tested ideas and constantly striving with new ones. Kempe combined independence of judgement with strong conviction, both religious and artistic." The work of Kempe's Studio can still be seen in many Cathedrals and Parish Churches in the British Isles and certain overseas as well, particularly in North America. Charles Eamer Kempe aged 23. Youngest son of Nathaniel Kemp, 1759 to 1843. Charles was born on 27th June 1837 Youngest of 7 children and 5th son. Charles Eamer Kempe at the age of about 61 with his dog Nora. Charles Eamer Kempe was a shy retiring person except when with a few of his close friends. He had a speech impediment and never married. He was very wealthy and the fact that he started his studio and did a very full weeks work was very unusual for a man of such means. His stained glass was very highly valued in his life time and despite a lack of appreciation in past years it is now being very much more appreciated by many more people as a very distinctive and highly spiritual style.

'Charles Eamer Kempe' Charles E Kempe (1837-1907) was a painter of walls, ceilings and woodwork of churches in the 1860's. The style then in vogue reflected a resurgance of interest to high church practices. Kempe's training served him well, and he started his own stained glass company, CE Kempe and Co in London, in 1868. Kempe was not a trained artist, but was nevertheless artistic, and able to suggest ideas which could be developed by his artists and cartoonists. He insisted that only the firm's name should take the credit for the standard of work produced, and that individual members of the studio remain anonymous. Kempe perfected the use of silver stain on clear glass, which leaves a yellow tint, which could be delicate or deep depending on the amount of stain. His greatest stylistic influence was the stained glass of Northern Germany and Flanders from the 16th Century. He took many trips to Europe, often taking the Kempe Company artists with him.

Panorama The Lady Chapel The Lady Chapel contains an 'English Altar' with four riddel posts each with an unusual brass base and wrought iron capital supporting a newly gilded angel. The screen features the remarkable ironwork and woodwork of Letheren and Martin. H.H.Martin made the Speaker's Chair in the House of Commons and the pulpit of St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Then on Jan 25, 2003, Mr.Collins wrote, saying he believes The one holding the book is by Herbert Bryans (note the Running Dog logo on the book) panel of the full length figure is definitely not Kempe. I can't, unfortunately, identify the artist however. It has proven to always be interesting digging into the past of these kinds of art objects. For example, the panel, at the left, is indeed Kempe. A least it has a Kempe Wreath signature. Not that we disagree with Mr. Phillips either. It is facinating to unravel. Thanks to Mr. Collins, more news on this to follow. A litle research, now with additional info, we found reference to stained glass windows manufactured by Herbert Bryans of London which may be identified by the ëRunning Dogí Signature. Bryans was formerly with the famous stained glass workshop of C.E.Kempe and examples of his work may also be seen at St Agnes, Ullet Road, Liverpool.

20. There Are Many Kemps In Sussex But Lindfield, Near Haywards Heath, Boasts Its Ow charles eamer kempe (1837 1907) was an artist and designer of all aspects of ecclesiasticaldecoration and is particularly remembered for his stained glass. http://www.gardenstrusts.org.uk/Archive/OLDPLACE_Kempe.htm

SUSSEX CONNECTIONS (click here to return to the Archive menu page) The Kemp family has been of note in Sussex for centuries but Lindfield, near Haywards Heath, boasts its own famous son. Charles Eamer Kempe (1837 -1907) was an artist and designer of all aspects of ecclesiastical decoration and is particularly remembered for his stained glass. Many are the windows of churches in Sussex which are adorned with examples of his skilled glassmaking. Charles Kempe visited Lindfield while still at Oxford and in 1875, the year after his mother’s death in Brighton, he purchased what was then Townlands Farm, the estate consisting of 200 acres, which he renamed Old Place. The house was a small manor dating from 1590 and owned by the Chal(l)oners. Kempe’s maternal grandfather had been a a city magnate and Lord Mayor of London, so he was able to combine his love of craftsmanship with the ability to employ and buy the best for in his new home in Sussex. The house he had bought had rooms too small for his purposes and more space was needed if he was to offer the hospitality that he had in mind for his friends. He much increased the size, and his purist style led him to create the additions strictly in keeping with the date of the existing house, without the affectations of his Victorian peers.
