The need for stone conservation brought into doubt the state of some of the leaded glass: work included insitu repairs, stained glass restoration, new opening hoppers with pigeon proof screens for the ringing chamber and vandal protection of valuable windows was carried out over a period of two years.

No.1 A rolling programme of restoration and protective grilles started with insitu repairs and rebuilds of the East facing windows of the South Transept in conjunction with the stone restorers.

No. 2 Repaired stained glass East window.

No. 3 The East window externally during stone repairs and the fixing of stainless steel grilles in black powder coat.

No. 4 A close up of grilles showing the method of fixing - in this case stainless 'P' clips and screws into plastic plugs - and unobtrusive grilles in place on the Burne Jones window.
