Barons Court Stained Glass retoration

This pair of slim stained glass panels had been quite extensively patched up in the past - and finally needed removal and complete rebuilding with new lead.  A lot of the ill-matching and ill-fitting glass that has been patched in over the years was replaced with glass more sympathetic to the original.

The small circular centre pieces, which had not suffered damage, are quite unusual, made from red flashed glass (clear glass with a very thin layer of coloured glass on one surface), which had been cut back in places to show clear elements, some of which had then been stained yellow.  The glass had also been painted. Apologies for poor photo!
