Synopsis

Few countries are as rich in stained glass as England, with wonderful examples to be found throughout the country, from the humblest parish church to the great cathedrals. This work provides a visual and informative account of all aspects of the subject: the many qualities of glass, techniques, methods of conservation and architectural settings. The author looks at the history from its beginnings in the 7th century up to the end of the 20th century, tracing the links between artists and craftsmen and the country's wider social and cultural history. A gazetteer provides a record of sites where interesting examples can be found.
