Patrick Reyntiens obituary
Stained-glass artist who, together with John Piper, created majestic windows for Coventry Cathedral and Eton College Chapel
When students visited Burleighfield House arts centre in Buckinghamshire in the 1960s and 1970s they would often find its ebullient and charismatic co-director, the stained-glass artist Patrick Reyntiens, in traditional Scottish dress. As well as wearing the kilt (he argued he had every right to do so through his mother’s family, who were Macraes)...

...Despite his Scottish roots, Reyntiens was also thoroughly English, deeply European and devoutly Roman Catholic. He was born Nicholas Patrick Reyntiens in a house on Cadogan Square, London, in 1925, and educated at the Catholic boarding school Ampleforth College in North Yorkshire. He loved the culture and rural setting of Ampleforth and, in a sense, throughout his professional and private life, Reyntiens never left the type of architectural and spiritual sanctuary that the school represented. While his mother was Scottish, his father was a Belgian-born diplomat and he was largely brought up by a nanny, Violet Grey, who read Dickens to him. The family home was filled with beautiful objects and fine art, including a portrait of his Belgian grandmother by John Singer Sargent...

...[His wife Anne] would predecease him in 2006 and he is survived by his children, Edith, an artist; Dominick, a writer; Lucy, a stone conservator; and John, a stained-glass artist who worked with his father...

Patrick Reyntiens, OBE, stained-glass artist, was born on December 11, 1925. He died after a short illness on October 25, 2021, aged 95
