Historical Description
Fairford is a small market-town, situated at the foot of the Cotswold Hills, on a dry gravelly soil, which renders it remarkably healthy. The name of the town is derived from its old ford over the Coin (a little above its influx into the Thames), on which it has now two neat bridges. The parish is ten miles in compass, and distinguished by the Borough East and Mill Town End.
The manor of Fairford was held in the reign of Edward the Confessor, by Bithric, Earl of Gloucester, from whom it was taken by Matilda, the wife of William Duke of Normandy; after her death it reverted to the crown. In 1263, Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hereford, obtained this lordship, with the privilege of a market and fairs. It then descended to the Beauchamps, and Nevilles, Earls of Warwick, and was one of the 114 manors which were fraudulently obtained from Anne, Countess of Warwick, by Henry VII. by a deed, dated December 13th, 1483. In 1498 it was again purchased from the crown, and is at present the property of John Raymond Barker, Esq. of Fairford- park.
Fairford derives its chief celebrity from its church, the windows of which contain the finest and largest collection of ancient painted glass in the kingdom. The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and consists of a lofty nave, a chancel, and side aisles, with a tower rising from the centre, upon which a spire was probably intended to have been erected. The architecture of the interior is extremely fine, and richly embellished; elegant fluted pillars divide the aisles from the nave, and a beautiful oak screen surrounds the chancel, ornamented with finely carved tabernacle-work. The pavement is chequered with blue and white stone, and has a remarkably neat appearance. The whole length of the church is 120 feet, its breadth 55.
The history of this elegant building is curious: John Tame, a merchant of a respectable family, settled in London, where several of them had served the office of sheriff, had the good fortune to take a vessel bound for Rome laden with painted glass, which he brought into England. Having determined to erect a building to receive this glass, he made choice of Fairford, where he had resided some time, for the purpose, and having purchased the manor of Henry VII. as above-mentioned, he commenced the present church in 149. '»; but dying soon afterwards, it was completed by his son, Sir Edmund Tame, Knt. The glass was disposed in 28 windows, with four or more compartments in each. The subjects are all from Scripture, representing the principal events related in the Old and New Testament, said, but with no degree of certainty, to have been designed by the famous Albert Durer. They are, however, most beautifully executed; so much so, that it is recorded of Vandyke, who inspected them, that he "often affirmed both to the king (Charles I. ) and others, that many of the figures were so exquisitely well done, that they could not be exceeded by the best pencil. ’’ Mr. Dallaway, in his Anecdotes of the Arts, after objecting to the opinion of their being designed by Albert Durer, observes further, that "neither Luna Van Leyden, nor Golzius, could have been employed, as they both flourished after the church was finished; but for this, the extreme resemblance of the style to the well-known etchings of those masters, wouId induce us to attribute this beautiful work to them. May we be allowed a conjecture, that the designer was Francesco Francia, who was born at Bologna, in 1450, and lived there till 1518, peculiarly eminent in the art of encaustic painting. ’’
In several of the windows the figures are now much mutilated or displaced, which probably was the consequence of their removal during the Civil Wars, in order to preserve them from the undistinguishing fury of the parliamentary fanatics. To screen them from further injury, the Hon. Elizabeth Fermer, a daughter of Lord Leinster, gave 200l. towards placing a wire lattice against each window.
There are several curious monuments and inscriptions in Fairford church The most interesting is that to the memory of John Tame, the beneficent founder of the edifice, and Alicia his wife. It is a table tomb, in the north aisle, composed of Italian marble. Upon the slab, on the top, are inlaid brass, displaying their effigies; beneath is the following legend:
For thus love pray for me,
With a pater noster et an abe.
I may not pray—now pray ye That my payngs relessed may be.
There have been many medals and urns dug Up in Fairford, and in the fields adjoining there are several barrows, supposed to have been raised over some considerable persons, who had been slain here in battle; though it does not appear from history, that any battle was fought in or near this place.
Several charities are still subsisting in this town, for the relief of the poor, and a Free School has been some time established and supported by the produce of money bequeathed by the above-mentioned Hon. Elizabeth Fermer, and Mary Barker, spinster.
The weekly market is on Thursdays; the grant of which was procured by Andrew Barker, Esq. in 1672, as well as of two fairs yearly.

Mr. Huntingdon, a sum of 10s. yearly, to be given in sixpenny loaves of bread to those who attend church and do not receive relief; Thomas Morgan gave £100, which, together with £10 left by Robert Jenner, and £105 by Alexander Colston, was invested some years since in the purchase of the Pest-house and other property, the rents of which are distributed among poor widows and others: John Carter gave £350, the interest to be distributed to the poor in December; Miss Luckman, £98, the interest to be distributed in February; Colonel Olney, £200, the interest to be yearly expended in coals, clothing and blankets.
