 Jobling, Greener, and Corning: Sunderland Glass
The first chronicled production of glass in England was in 674 AD when the Venerable Bede described how glass makers from Gaul were brought over to make windows for a newly built church and monastery in Sunderland.
His most significant contribution however was to come when he acquired from the Corning Glass Co. the licence to manufacture and market PYREX heat resistant glassware in Great Britain and the Empire (excluding Canada) in 1921.
The glass was to be much less expensive than hand finished glass yet sufficiently attractive that a higher price than normal for flint glass would be accepted.
