Ecclesiastical glazers
Of all the crafts that have existed since medieval times
none can be as brilliant and unique as the work carried out by medieval
glass painters. York today has the largest accumulated collection of
ancient stained and painted glass in England.
 |
Peter Gibson of the York Glazier's trust
had prime responsibility for preserving and restoring all the stained
glass in York Minster and other buildings nationwide. |
 |
Combining brilliance of beauty with reverence and
mystery, the Minster is the work of scores of glazier craftsmen,
most of whom were unknown. It is a complete visual commentary on
glass painting over the last eight hundred years. |

A section of lead is opened out with
a "lathekin" in preparation to receive the glass. |
