I can just make out \u201cHouses of Parliament\u201d and \u201cMP\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My curiosity is aroused. How did it get from the Houses of Parliament to Pattingham? And who was the MP involved in its transportation? What was his connection with Pattingham church?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The church website clarifies matters to an extent. \u201cAgainst the south wall of the church is an angel bust from the Houses of Parliament donated by Geoffrey Mander, MP for Wolverhampton South East\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But who exactly was Geoffrey Mander, and how did he come into possession of a stone angel from the Houses of Parliament, I wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-for-VftP-8-jun-25_240x320.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-for-VftP-8-jun-25_240x320.jpg\" alt=\"The stone angel\" class=\"wp-image-13015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-for-VftP-8-jun-25_240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.pattinghamchurch.org.uk\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/photo-for-VftP-8-jun-25_240x320-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I set off down an online rabbit hole, digging for information. It appears that Sir Geoffrey Mander (1882-1962) was the owner of Wightwick Manor. His father Samuel Theodore, known as Theodore, commissioned the building of the house on Wightwick Bank in 1887, and a year later he moved his young family there from a semi detached house in Wolverhampton. In 1884 he had attended a lecture in Wolverhampton by the playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, entitled \u2018The House Beautiful\u2019. The talk inspired him to create the beautiful interiors of Wightwick, filled with the William Morris wallpapers and William de Morgan ceramics he adored. In 1900 Theodore died suddenly at the early age of 47, when Geoffrey was only 18 years old. This was followed by the loss of his mother Flora only 5 years later, meaning that Geoffrey assumed the responsibilities of the estate very young. The construction of the house was completed by 1893, but Theodore\u2019s untimely death left more to be done. So it is in large part that we owe thanks to Geoffrey for the magnificent art collection and the beautiful gardens at Wightwick.<br><br>From the Wightwick website I learned that Geoffrey rescued various bomb damaged fragments from the House of Commons, including two stone crowns from the pinnacles of Big Ben, used as ornaments in the garden. Perhaps he acquired the Pattingham angel at the same time? Further investigation confirmed that the Palace of Westminster was indeed damaged in air raids on 14 different occasions during World War 2, including severe damage in 1941 when the Commons Chamber and the Members Lobby were completely gutted. Stone was sold to raise funds for charitable causes. Rebuilding wasn\u2019t completed until 1950, so the traditional style Commons Chamber and Members Lobby that we see today are actually modern replacements.<br><br>Sir Geoffrey was chairman of the family company, Mander Brothers. From its relatively modest beginnings in 1773, within a hundred years the company had become a world leader in the manufacture of varnishes, paints and printing inks. The Mander family was known for its involvement in both religion and politics, especially in the Wolverhampton area. They were prominent non conformists, and politically radical Liberals, often supporting religious and social reform efforts. They became renowned for their public service, art patronage and philanthropy. Theodore was Mayor and chief magistrate of Wolverhampton at the time of his death. Geoffrey built a reputation for being deeply interested in the welfare of his own employees, and indeed in everything that touched on the human side of industry. Manders was the first company in the country to introduce the forty hour working week, in 1932, as well as implementing a pension scheme, an employees\u2019 shareholding scheme, and many other benefits. As an MP he was hugely respected, and when, as a Liberal MP, he lost his seat in the Labour landslide of 1945, it was agreed by many that he genuinely was a great loss to the House Of Commons.<br><br>And what about the final question, Geoffrey\u2019s connection with Pattingham? When I was researching an earlier VFTPs, I found that a Samuel Small Mander had established a Congregational chapel in Pattingham in 1872. I now discovered that he was in fact Geoffrey\u2019s grandfather. But that connection seemed rather tenuous. I turned to the Wolverhampton History and Heritage website, where I learned that in 1900 Geoffrey\u2019s father, S T Mander, died on 14th September and was interred in Pattingham on 18th September. That would give Geoffrey a very good reason to donate our stone angel. The final piece of the puzzle had slotted nicely into place.<br><br>In 1937 Sir Geoffrey secured the future of Wightwick Manor and its collection by presenting it to the National Trust, along with an endowment of 20,000 Manders shares. We have much to thank him for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane Horton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you like to write a View from the Pews?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We welcome contributions for View from the Pews from anyone who would like to write one.
