The Start

Ketton Stained Glass first began trading in 1989 and this was the first window unit I ever produced. The company name derived from the old Suffolk name for the village of Kedington where I was living at that time.

For twenty years I have looked after all the windows at Emmanuel College in Cambridge - we started here in Emmanuel Street where revelers returning to the adjacent bus station were repeatedly vandalising the line of windows – once rebuilt I added a barely visible aluminium framed laminate glass cover to each and further damage has been very limited.

Emmanuel College in Cambridge – Sir Christopher Wren’s chapel shown here has integrated at the front the Long Gallery the thirteen windows of which have suffered breaks from students, the resident college ducks making their way back to their pond behind, and in the last case an errant racing pidgeon who was waiting for me inside when I arrived – more detail on the Chapel here.

Matching original leaded glass

Repairing and replacing leaded and stained glass windows to match what existed originally is a core part of my business and in this example for the early nineties one part of the building had lost it’s leaded windows and after several weeks work we had the building looking as one once more.
