The damage was extensive but luckily did not affect the cinquefoil headers which were untouched and a pair of new rectangular leaded lights were required, The old glass was salvaged and replaced in the same position during the build The new glass in...

I added some sponge draft excluder to the door surround to soften the closing. Client had this to say on completion:...
