History

Description:

Arched shaped double lancet window with diamond top shaped tracery.
These windows are glazed in simple leaded glass, which are made using cut glass, lead and solder. They are in a square pattern with a clear border following the contours of the stonework. The internal glass is made up of glass in various pale tints.

Renovation 2013:

To maintain the integrity of the building, the original leaded glass was restored and retained.The lead within all windows had deteriorated due to age. The lead came had thinned and is breaking away. The lead had deteriorated to a level that it has reached its life expectancy. Many of the solder joints were broken and the panels were loose to touch. There was also dirt trapped between the leaded glass and outer protection. In fact it really was only the outer secondary glazing that was holding them in place. The metal bars had severely rusted and were causing further damage to the stone mullions.
The windows were removed for full restoration and also to allow essential stone repairs. These central mullions had visibly deteriorated and also there was a horizontal metal bar fitted within the stonework causing further damage.

A new ventilated protection system was installed.
