4/4 Britains Most Fragile Treasure
First broadcast: Oct 2011.
Historian Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of a centuries-old masterpiece in glass. At 78 feet in height, the famous East Window at York Minster is the largest medieval stained-glass window in the country and it was the creative vision of a single artist, a mysterious master craftsman called John Thornton, one of the earliest named English artists.

Wonderful, thanks for posting this
Excellent program.
Wonderful production, as an individual with an art history degree and a fair amount of technical information at my disposal, I would enjoy more of the technical sides presented regarding the restoration. I say this, with no distain for what has been presented, rather, only with more desire for more information. Fantastic !
stunning
masterclass
I wonder what happens to the old pieces that have been discarded due to restoration?. Are they still kept?. My heart stopped watching the Narrator handling the ancient glass. I would have folded like a deck of cards.

York minster has huge archieves. All pieces are retained in this. (Not the lead though)
