The East Window of St Andrew's Church is no regular stained glass window. It was designed by the architect of the nineteenth century Gothic revival - Augustus Pugin - and showcased in the medieval room at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London's Hyde Park. The Great Exhibition was an extraordinary event celebrating British industrial advance and colonial power, but as seen in Pugin's room it also explored connections to an imagined past.

Join Director of the Crafts Study Centre, Stephen Knott to explore these broader contexts of the spectacular window, and what the revival of stained glass in the nineteenth century tells us about attitudes to a nation in the midst of rapid industrialisation.
