Wren300 The Remarkable People, Places and Processes of Stained Glass Windows Lecture

St. Botolphs Without Aldgate Church, Aldgate High Street, London, Greater London, EC3N 1AB

Following the devastation of wartime bombing a remarkable generation of architects, artists and craftsmen emerged to recreate the churches of the City of London in the spirit of Sir Christopher Wren. Let Alexandra introduce you to Christopher Webb, Brian Thomas, Lawrence Lee and other notable professionals, and learn about the meaning embedded in the windows and the style of windows. Discover the identity of the City - unique stories of people, time and place - all expressed within the fascinating post-war stained glass to be found in many of Wren's historic churches.
