Doctors and Stained Glass

The last few days have been spent writing a speech on Epsom College's links to the Medical Profession, to be given on Founder's Day on Saturday. It isn't finished, but it is going well at present. It is astonishing how a school, founded as an orphanage and to give a cheap education for doctors' sons, gradually raised its expectations during the 19th Century. If we obeyed the Founder's wishes, Epsom College would be an orphanage dedicated to doctors' sons and doctors' widows (as pensioners) but that specific purpose was increasingly ignored, even during John Propert's lifetime. The lure of creating an effective school, then a renowned school was hard to resist when each headmaster was equally energetic in the pursuit of status. Doctors' orphans didn't long remain the focus of college aspirations, but boys training to be doctors did. Even among the first generation, a huge proportion went into the profession (at a time when the education here was not particularly scientific).

I was waylaid this morning into searching again on the internet for details of Francis Alcock Oldaker and his stained glass. Nothing very much came up, but I have hopes that one day something will. We are particularly fortunate here to have six windows created by him, three when he was still a pupil here and was about 18 years old. One, a memorial to Prince Albert completed in 1861, is now in Big School, but was originally the west window of the old Chapel. Two other early windows are unfortunately hidden by a partition for the sacristy in the present Chapel, the Forest and Sterry windows. The third and fourth are opposite, one being the Wilberforce window, commemorating the death of Samuel Wilberforce, the well-known opponent of Darwinism. Wilberforce, as the Bishop of Winchester, fell from his horse on the downs above Abinger on hie way back from confirming boys here. The last of Oldaker's windows is the Boer War Memorial window, to the left of the High Altar. This particularly fine window was dedicated by Winston Churchill in 1903.
I would be most interested to know anything else at all about Francis Oldaker. His occupation was 'artist in stained glass', but which windows did he create? There is one in St. Martin's Church in Epsom, but where else are they?
