The Chapel, Trinity College, Oxford, 1885-6
The chapel of Trinity College, Oxford, rebuilt 1691-94, was glazed between 1885 and 1886 by the firm of James Powell and Sons, one of Victorian England's best and most prolific stained glass companies.
The Chapel, Oundle School, Northamptonshire 1954-56
John Piper (1903-92) is widely recognised as the most important post-war exponent of stained glass in Britain. His three windows for Oundle School of 1954-56, fabricated by Patrick Reyntiens, were his first stained glass commission.
The medieval glazing of the chapel was commissioned from Oxford craftsman Thomas Glazier by Bishop William of Wykeham, Lord Chancellor of England, Bishop of Winchester and founder of the College.
The West Window of Beverley Minster, John Hardman & Company 1859-65
Working on four large panels, the Trust has devised a conservation strategy for this vast window, which depicts figures and events connected with the early history of Christianity in Northumbria.
