List of works by Edward Woore

This is a listing of Edward Woore's major works, listed where possible in date order.

Background
Edward Woore (1880–1960) was a stained glass artist and part of a group of artists trained by Christopher Whall, a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Fellow apprentices included Louis Davis and Karl Parsons. Together with Parsons he helped illustrate Whall's book " Stained Glass Work" in 1905.

He was a close friend and fellow apprentice of Arnold Robinson, who took over the stained glass company of Joseph Bell and Sons in Bristol and for which Woore often undertook commissions. He later managed Whall's studio for a short time before Whall's death and also collaborated with Whall's daughter Veronica. For a time he had had his own studio in Hammersmith and from 1924 to 1941 did so again in Putney, where he lived at 66 Deodar Road, the same road as so many of Whall's followers.
