Pugin.

Our next finalist and it is a remarkable story.

Travelling North to Newcastle Cathedral for the so-called ‘Chemist’s Window’, #DivineLight.

Wall of glass Stairway to heaven. Our next finalist ....

The term ‘wall of glass’ is overused today, but at Gloucester it is a medieval reality. Between 1345 and 1355 the quire of St Peter’s Abbey (now Gloucester Cathedral) was remodelled to make it a fit resting place for King Edward II.
