„York Minster Stained Glass“

from the gallery of Robert Gipson
Minsterstainedglass-2
Description:

Maintaining the Minster's amazing Medieval windows is a full time job. There are 128 stained glass windows, containing about 2 million individual pieces of Medieval glass. To be cleaned, each window must be taken apart so that each piece of stained glass can be individually cleaned. Then the windows are reassembled and re-leaded. Each window is cleaned about once every 125 years. To do all the windows at once would take about 200 years!
This particular window is found in St Johns Chapel.
