Product Description
This catalogue is the first comprehensive study of medieval stained glass in South Yorkshire. Not only does it describe and illustrate the surviving glass, but it also gives detailed information on the subjects portrayed, the inscriptions, donors and heraldry. Glass was imported into the area from other sources - including an important collection from New College, Oxford, Tudor Renaissance glass, and some German glass. The diverse artistic heritage recorded in this volume sheds much light on the history of South Yorkshire and the surrounding region.

After several nights of bed time reading i was hooked on this delightful read. The alluring illustrations were testiment of the effort applied to create one of my all time favourite stained glass books. I particuarly enjoyed the spellbinding chapter on lofty verticals, as exemplified by St. Mary's Church in Handsworth.
