Fenella's Stained Glass Christmas Tree Lamp
Made by hand in Ledbury, Herefordshire · for sale for the first and last time
A little church window in the shape of a Christmas tree.
For 39 Decembers, Fenella Hartop made these little glass trees only to give away – to her mum, her neighbours, her church. Half of Ledbury has one glowing in the front window. Now she is closing her workshop, and her final batch is the only time they will ever be sold.
“Switch it on, and the whole window turns into Christmas.”

“It never felt right to put a price on them. But I can’t give away four hundred trees – and I want every one of them to end up in a window where somebody really loves it.”

What arrives at your door

- Wrapped and packed by Fenella’s grandchildren Isla and Rory, so every pane arrives safely
What makes it a Window Tree
No. 01
Built like a church window
Small diamond-shaped panes, each framed by a dark lead line – the same look as the stained glass windows in old village churches.
No. 02
Every colour glows on its own
Ruby red, emerald, mint, honey amber, gold and a little sky blue. When the light is on, each pane shines in its own colour.
No. 03
Four tiers, one golden star
The tree rises in four layered tiers with pointed tips like real fir branches, crowned by a faceted five-pointed star.
No. 04
The holly base
A dark, carved-look trunk and round base wrapped in holly leaves and red berries. It keeps the little tree steady on any sill or shelf.
No. 05
Coloured light on the wall
The warm LED inside throws little patches of red, green and gold onto the table and the wall around it, like sunlight through a chapel window.
No. 06
Small enough for anywhere
At just 18 centimetres tall, it fits on a windowsill, a bedside table, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf – wherever a little Christmas is missing.
How to set it up
- Unwrap it carefully and give the panes a quick wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Find its spot. In Ledbury it goes in the front window, where the whole street can see it. A mantelpiece, a bedside table or a bookshelf works just as well.
- Plug the USB cable into any USB plug, a power bank or a computer.
- Dim the room and watch the colours land on the wall. That’s the moment people write to Fenella about.

Made by hand in Ledbury
Fenella Hartop opened her little workshop above the old saddler’s on the High Street on 5 December 1987. That same month, she made her first glass tree for her mum’s front window – and the neighbours came knocking. Ever since, she has made about forty trees every December and given every single one away. Each tree is cut, foiled, soldered and checked by hand, one at a time. Arthritis in both hands means this is her last Christmas at the bench. The workshop closes on 5 December 2026. Isla and Rory will keep posting after that, until the last tree is gone.

“What makes a church window special isn’t the glass alone. It’s the dark lines between the colours – they make every piece glow on its own. Fenella’s little trees have exactly that. You see it the moment the light goes on.”

Questions people ask Isla
How big is it really?
About 18 centimetres tall and 11 centimetres wide at the bottom tier – roughly the height of two coffee mugs stacked. Small enough for a windowsill, big enough to fill a dark corner with colour.
Is it bright enough to light a room?
It isn’t a reading lamp. It’s a mood light: soft, warm and colourful. In a dim room in the evening, it’s the cosiest thing in the house.
Can I use it after Christmas?
Many people do. A lot of families keep it on the bedside table as a night light well into January.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days. Isla and Rory pack every tree themselves.

A note from Fenella:
For 39 Decembers I made these little glass trees only to give away. The first one went into my mum's front window in 1987, and half of Ledbury has one in the window now. My hands are getting too stiff for the fine work, and on 5 December, exactly 39 years after I first opened my workshop, I close it for good. These 357 trees are the last I will ever make, and the first I have ever sold.
Isla and Rory will keep posting after 5 December, until the very last one is gone.
When they're gone, they're gone.
