Project Description
This Restoration of a WW1 memorial window is now homed at the Bunbury historical society.
This historic WWI memorial window was saved after a local Presbyterian church was demolished in the 1970s. Fortunately this important piece of local history was salvaged from the builders skip bin and installed in the Bunbury historical society building as part of their local history display. At the time of installation the stained glass was sealed between two layers of glass without ventilation and the lead slowly started to deteriorate. A delicate extraction of the windows was performed by Ian and Simon to save any damage to the glass and then it was taken back to the studio for a complete re lead and cleaning.
The windows are now installed back at the local historical society display with protective screening that is ventilated and looking as good as they did when first made 100 years ago.
