  • Comment: I read that he was "a noted English stained glass artist". Then what note of him was made by reliable sources? What is said about him by historians or other experts on stained glass?

Ernest Suffling (1855 - 1911) was an English stained glass artist and prolific author.[1] His books included A Treatise on the Art of Glass Painting[2][3] and The Land of the Broads[4][5]about the English Counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.

Ernest Richard Suffling was born in London in 1855 to a blind-maker.[1] He worked from the West London Stained Glass Works in the Edgware Road, London for 30 years.[1] His work took him to churches all over the country, informing his books Epitaphia, a Collection of 1300 British Epitaphs, Grave and Gay[6] and English Church Brasses from the 13th to the 17th Century.[7] He wrote extensively about Norfolk, and lived there for a period;[8] the introduction to Epitaphia lists his address as Happisburgh. He died in 1911.[1]
