History

Description:

Arched shaped double lancet window with 5 cusped rose-shaped traceries.

Restoration 2013:

The lead within all windows had deteriorated due to age, and the lead came had thinned and was 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 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 were severely rusted and were causing further damage to the stone mullions.
The windows required to be 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.
The rose shaped tracery within these windows were badly bulged due to the metal framework. This circular frame had rusted and expanded. This expansion had placed pressure of the leaded glass, causing it to bulge.

All leaded glass was removed for full conservation (re-lead) by Rainbow Glass, and re-installed with new non-ferrous brass bar.
