Art Appreciation & Fine Arts

Medieval Stained Glass in Gloucestershire Churches

Start: 07 November 2010 at 2:30 p.m.
End: 07 November 2010 at 4:00 p.m.
With Steven Blake

Gloucestershire’s churches contain some of the most important medieval stained and painted glass in England, most notably at Gloucester cathedral, Tewkesbury abbey and Fairford church, each of which has glass of international significance. Elsewhere within the county, however, there are many other churches whose surviving glass, though fragmentary, is certainly worth studying. This talk concentrates on the less well known glass, and considers the main subjects depicted and the techniques by which the windows were made.
