Title: Stained Glass Window, 1978 [Go to resource]
Description: The stained glass images used on this tin are copies of originals found in Canterbury Cathedral. Canterbury has some of the finest early medieval stained glass in Europe. This roundel is one of many that can be found there. Fire struck the cathedral in September 1174. Profits from the lucrative pilgrim business enabled the monks to build a new Quire and the Trinity Chapel and to fill it with stained glass of outstanding splendour. By 1176, the complete programme was within 44 years it had been completed by workshops of English and French craftsmen. This tin, clearly, was intended for the Christmas market.
