Thank you for answering my mini barrage of questions! Good to know they will be available. Such an unnecessary mess the church has made of this sell off/out. Thank you for your great and invaluable work! 🌞

Hello. Will the recordings be published or accessible? Does the church sell off items or does it store or do they gift back to the community that looked after them for so long? Does the trust have a church as a base which can house items? 🌞

Thank you.

Sustainable... not profitable enough under present system. Perfectly sustainable if run as an education centre for the benefit of society funded by public.

Impressive 4 layered acid etched glass angel with godly halo/light. Side opening stained glass panel and a wonderfully melancholic painting Pieta by Delacroix. Saint Denys, Paris. Also not one person in the church and no queues. 😅 pity the fool. #stainedglass #glasgow #scotland #ontour

Bonny entrance to this West End home. Simple design but quite a few tricky glass and lead shapes. #stainedglass #glasgow #scotland

😅 I did think if they sack such an odious toxic lickspittle as Murray, what hellspawn lies in wait.

A simple but elegant leaded panel for this top sash window. Showing a client a drawing/ design of just squares is a difficult sell, but when you use the right glass, a mixture of reclaimed Victorian and hand blown, I think works well. 🌸🌳🌞

Leaded glass window in a grid pattern with Ruby border. Reclaimed Victorian and hand blown glass.

Six panels from the 'Tennyson Arthuriana' painted and stained glass window in the gothic extension to Greek Thomson's Number IV Great Western Terrace. Thomson hated "the gothic" so he would not have been impressed...
