This talk will shed light on the ubique art of stained glass, its history and stylistic development from medieval period to the present day. Using illustrated examples from the UK’s only museum dedicated to stained glass, located in Ely Cathedral. It will uncover a number of illuminating and inspiring works from across Britain and Europe.
