Life
Charles Lorin was the son of Nicolas Lorin (1833-1882) and Marie Françoise Dian (1840–1928). His father founded in 1863 the Maison Lorin in Chartres, still active in 2017.[1]
Charles married on 18 January 1898 Étiennette Jeanne Piébourg (1873–?), daughter of Alfred Étienne Piébourg, architect of the city of Chartres.
His first signed achievements date back to 1899 and he continued producing for more than 40 years, until death in 1940.
- His first son, Charles Étienne François, born in November 1898, died at the age of 18 on the World War I battlefield in Belgium; this is probably one of the reasons why Charles Lorin was so involved in decorating the memorials of this war, like the stained glass windows of Brezolles or Le Puiset churches
- In 1900 he had a second son, François Lorin (1900–1972), who continued the workshops Lorin after World War II .
