Various phases of the restoration of the stained glass in the church. Designed by architect J. A. Hansom and opened in 1871 the architecture is quality in design and materials throughout. We have included in the images the South Transept window by the artist and craftsman Paul Woodruff (1920's). There are also hundreds of square metres of quarry windows.

Many of the stained glass windows around the church were in need of re-leading and had sustained breakages and loss. With a project on this scale, methodical record keeping was vital. The glass was gently cleaned and documented before restoration. Important pieces (such as heads or hands) with cracks were edge bonded and plated. Missing pieces were recreated with special attention paid to matching the glass, pigment and painting style.
