Medieval History
New protective glazing could be fitted to four medieval windows in Lincoln Cathedral to protect the historic stained glass. Special monitoring sensors will even be fitted to the windows to ensure the new glazing is set at exactly the right position to keep the medieval glass protected.
The project is planned for four of the lancet windows beneath the Bishop?s Eye which date from the 13th century. The new scheme, if agreed by the cathedral?s Glazing Advisory Committee, will start early next year when the old glass is going to be removed for conservation.
New, specially made, protective glass will then be fitted to the window?s exterior recess before the conserved windows are rehung behind it on special brackets.
