The Winspire Project - The Stained Glass Windows
Windows Update - December 2018
The west window is back! It was reinstalled by Salisbury Glass on 20th and 21st November. See photo here.
The window has been completely dismantled. Each pane has been carefully cleaned to the extent it can be without damaging the colour and the detail; specific heads and details have been enhanced, and the whole window has been reassembled with new leading. It should now be good for the next 100 years.
Following the re-installation, a team of volunteers has made use of the scaffolding to put a fresh coat of emulsion on to the window surrounds, and above the window. The remainder of the wall will be done when the tower work is complete, as this includes fixing the leaks at the base of the tower.
The round window at the head of the North Aisle, and the lancet window from the tower will now undergo the same process, and we hope will be back in the new year.
Huge thanks to those who have contributed to WinSpire in so many ways to enable us to do this vital work.
