Filkins leaded lights rebuilt in a one day ‘on site’ project. Filkins Hall front door leaded light was in danger of collapse: The door light was stripped out and then the old oxidised lead removed and replaced with new lead came then soft soldered using tallow flux just as original and then sealed and reinstalled. Filkins Hall The house acquired by Thomas Edwards in the early 18th century was evidently a predecessor of Filkins Hall, which was largely rebuilt after the fire of 1876.

Bury St Edmunds – stained glass and I am back again working in Bury St Edmunds and this time for a simple door window refurbishment I have worked in BSE before see here The finished article which is top right is undistinguishable from the rest of the original leaded lights: Bury St Edmunds began as an Anglo Saxon settlement called Bedric’s worth. Worth was a Saxon word meaning an enclosure such as a farm or hamlet surrounded by a stockade. In 630 Sigebert the king of East Anglia founded a monastery there. Bury St Edmunds is...

A front door always works hard and this one finally needed some renewable resourcing in the form of stripping and re-leading. All the original glass was salvaged and returned to exactly the same position after a clean and a polish – new internal steels along with new lead came added for core support and externally the copper ties for the re-bars were refitted. This door should now be ready for another 100 years of service. The door is tucked away on a lovely remote farm in Stanton near Bury St Edmunds The Parish of Stanton...
