Earlier this year, urgent repairs were made to a stained glass window from the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Shrewsbury. The window, located in St Catherine’s Chapel, was created in northern Europe during the 16th Century and shows The Assumption of the Virgin - where the body and soul of Mary, Mother of Jesus, was escorted to heaven by angels. Unfortunately, the bottom third of this window was damaged due to heritage crime and was sent to a stained glass specialist for repairs and restoration. Jim Budd ACR is an ICON accredited Conservator who runs a multi-disciplinary stained glass studio in Herefordshire. In this video, Jim explains the conservation and repair work and how new pieces were created using traditional glass-making techniques.
This work is now complete, and the window has been installed back into the church. This is the first window to be repaired as part of a lottery funded project that will restore, protect and highlight the exceptional stained glass collection. Thanks to support from National Lottery players and CCT donors, The Past, Present and Future of St Mary’s Stained Glass, will safeguard the glass for future generations and engage audiences with enhanced interpretation and an exciting programme of events and workshops.
