Stained glass conservation exhibition at Greys Court

About Stained glass conservation exhibition at Greys Court
This year, the internationally significant stained glass panes at Greys Court have been conserved for future generations to enjoy.
Following critical conservation work, which has breathed new life into these precious pieces of history, visit the new exhibition in the house to examine these stained glass panes and appreciate their intricate details.
The panels are displayed in the landing window on the stairs. They were placed in their current location after Sir Felix Brunner bought Greys Court in 1937. They were part of his grandfather’s collection of Swiss ceramics, furniture and weaponry.
The designs are incredibly intricate and feature religious stories in both painted and stained glass. On several of the panels is the heraldic crest of a water fountain on a red background – this is the Brunner family crest.
The restoration work involved removing the stained-glass panels and replacing them in the integral structure with clear, UV light-protecting glass. Inside this, the restored panels are supported in U-channel frames, secured by metal bars into the stonework.
Each pane contains a story locked within the historic glass drawings.
