Stained glass windows

Intricate and colourful windows in churches and cathedrals greatly add to the ambience, although many early examples in England were smashed by the Puritans and replaced with plain glass. There was a huge revival in the 19th Century with many elaborate new stained glass windows created. The 20th century saw the development of new techniques, including Gemmail, which overlaps pieces of stained glass without using lead. New windows are still being commissioned today, while the oldest known ones are still in place within the Ancestors of Christ window on the south side of Canterbury Cathedral.
