UK STAINED GLASS NEWS July 2006
and THE UK STAINED GLASS REGISTER

visit to glasgow
Queen's Cross Church,
870 Garscube Road

Mackintosh began work on the Queen's Church about 1896, and it took a further two years before the foundation stone was laid.

Mackintosh's skills as an architect are well illustrated by a study of this building, with plenty of exposure of structural elements and a lovely lofty arched timber ceiling.

There is also much inventiveness in the detail that I found fascinating. The carving on the pulpit and chancel are very Art Nouveau, but others are more abstract.

The Church is the home of the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society, est 1973 to foster interest in his work. The CRM Society now own it.
