I find stained glass to be so elegant. The many colors used, all the different shapes within a single piece, and the stories that can be told. I absolutely adore them…
St Lawrence's church at Weston sub Edge dates back at least to the 13th century, but of the medieval building only the 15th century tower remains, following the restoration (or rather rebuilding) of the church in 1853-4 by Frederick Preedy. Inside there are further reminders of the old church, but the most dominant feature of the otherwise Victorian interior is the rich stained glass, also by Preedy, that fills nearly every window. For more history see below:- www.cotswoldedgenorthbenefice.org/historyArticle.asp?c=30 The church is normally kept locked but keyholder details are given (it took me two visits to get inside though, first time one of the keyholders couldn't help as they were awaiting a replacement key, whilst the other clearly didn't want to open the door to me! Happily the church was open on my second visit, though I suspect this may have been pure luck).

Some of Atlanta's most beautiful artwork can be found behind its churches' sanctuary doors. These are the "History Windows" of First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, next door to the High Museum on Peachtree Street.

Chartres Cathedral is famous for its stain glass windows The effect of stain glass in these ancient churches is subtle. The stories told in the sections would be difficult to read from the floor of the Cathedral. So what is the purpose of these colorful windows?
