St Thomas’ Church was consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury on 4th December 1860, in the presence of the 85 year-old Mrs Sarah Pugh, at whose expense the church had been built and endowed. In 1871 the church was given its own parish, carved out of what had been St Peter’s parish. Over the years the church was enlarged and extended.

The central stained glass wheel window within the tracery, originally made John Hardman & Co. lacked structural support. As a result, was subject to severe storm damage which required elements of the window to be re-designed entirely.

Our team removed the panel from site and secured the opening. At our studio, all the remaining glass was salvaged and the missing artwork re-drafted to allow for newly inserted painted pieces, signed and dated. The panel was re-leaded and re-glazed upon completion, attaching new tie wires to the supporting saddle bars.
