William Peckitt
William Peckitt (1731 – 14 October 1795) was an English glass-painter and stained glass maker. He was based in York throughout his working life, was one of the leading Georgian glass craftsmen in England and helped “keep the art of glass painting alive during the eighteenth century".〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004〕 In fact, "it was William Peckitt who did most of the stained glass and painted glass work that survives from the second half of the eighteenth century".〔Cowen, Painton "A Guide to Stained Glass in Britain", Michael Joseph,1985, ISBN 0 - 7181-25673〕
==Biography==
William Peckitt was born in Husthwaite, a village near Easingwold, 15 miles North West of York, and was baptised on 13 April 1731; his parents were William, a fellmonger and glove maker, and Ann. The family moved to York sometime prior to 1752 where Peckitt worked in his father’s glove making business before establishing himself as a glass painter in Colliergate, York.
He married Mary Mitley, daughter of the sculptor Charles Mitley on 3 April 1763〔The Register of Marriages in York Minster,Illustrated with Biographical Notices 1681 to 1762. By Robert H. Skaife, The Mount, York (1873).〕 and the couple had 4 daughters. Peckitt worked throughout his life on the maintenance of the medieval glass in York Minster as well as painting new windows there. He also undertook commissions for cathedrals, churches and houses throughout England. He produced windows for a number of colleges including the "fabulous" Alma Mater window for Trinity College.〔 He died on 14 October 1795 and is buried in the church of St Martin-cum-Gregory, York. His wife made a memorial window to him in the church and it is placed next to a memorial to two of his daughters by Peckitt himself.
