Holy Trinity Minchinhampton Stained-Glass Windows Restoration Project

A major re-ordering of our Grade I Listed church has resulted in an improved internal environment with a light, warm and welcoming space for worship and community activities. Recent, surveys (2021-2024) and investigations of the windows, particularly the Rose Window, have revealed serious and rapid deterioration of masonry, lead and ironwork, with staining and condensation causing significant loss of detail of the images in the glass. The repair, conservation and cleaning of all of the windows is now identified as structurally important with the Rose Window as the highest priority. These essential repairs will strengthen the church for the future, provide real environmental improvements, offer training opportunities, enable the stories in the windows to be understood once again, and provide a greatly improved ambience for the enjoyment of our congregation and of our growing number of visitors with whom we will celebrate the stories in the windows,
