Whilst much praise has been given to John Hardman & Co of Birmingham, there was a person who probably deserves more recognition that has been so far been passed his way.
This person was Charles Pemberton, the eldest of three brothers and two sisters, who became a glass stainer and artist in Birmingham and had his works at the Bloomfield Wharf, Great Charles Street in the 1820's and early 1830's
According to West's Directory of Warwickshire (1830), Pemberton was associated with :
(1) Wednesbury Church-East window
(2) Moseley Chapel- gothic window
(3) Stoke Church- east window
(4) Erdington Chapel- ornamental window
(5) Hagley Chapel- window north aisle
(6) Sowe Church- chancel window
(7) Ruthen Castle- various windows
(8) Oulton Church near Leeds- Windows
(9)Restoration of windows St Mary’s Hall, Coventry
By 1838, Charles Pemberton had relocated to a factory in Newhall Hill, Birmingham, near the Parade where he traded with younger brother Francis. There were two houses fronting Newhall Hill where according to the 1841 & 1851 census the family lived. He and Francis lived in one house and his mother, sisters and younger brother George lived in the one next door.
F & C Pemberton continued to trade into the 1850's but by 1859, the Newhall Hill works had been taken over by John Hardman & Co. Hardman also had a works in Great Charles Street, then
At the 1849 Arts exhibition held at Bingley House, Chance Brothers, Hardman and F & C Pemberton all exhibited stained glass windows.
