PART ILLUSTRATED Nora Yoxall & Elsie Whitford Stained-glass artists Nora Yoxall and Elsie Whitford met in the 1920s when they were art students in Birmingham, and took up stained-glass almost by chance. They worked together for the rest of their lives, always making their windows as well as designing them. From 1949 they worked from a small studio in Blockley, near Chipping Campden. Their output was not large, and was mostly in the Midlands featuring in many churches and chapels of suburban Birmingham. Ref - www.courtbarn.org
