Book Description
A magnificent achievement - Robert Hardy, CBE. The 28 medieval stained glass windows of St Mary's Church in Fairford, Gloucestershire, form the finest collection of stained glass in Europe and are known throughout the world. St Mary's is a magnificent church, built towards the end of the 15th century by wool merchant John Tame. The windows were installed in 1509 after painstaking work by their craftsmen and tell the story of the Christian faith from Creation to Last Judgement. From 1984, the windows have been gradually restored, after being damaged by years of weathering and corrosion. For the first time in just over 300 years the set of windows is complete. It is therefore timely to publish, for the first time in paperback, the story of Fairford's windows. This book, first published as "Life, Death and Art: The Medieval Stained Glass of Fairford Parish Church," studies the medieval stained glazing scheme in the context of the economic, religious and artistic life of late medieval England. Expert contributors discuss all aspects of the windows, from the building and decoration of the church, to the working methods of the glaziers, the glass's history and construction, and its subject matter and iconography. Beautifully illustrated in both colour and b/w, "Fairford Parish Church" also discusses the survival of the glass, and the methods of its restoration.

Book Description
Seven substantial essays and a CD-ROM examine the only full medieval glazing scheme in Britain to survive the Reformation and the Puritan iconoclasm of the 17th century. They cover the context, the surrounding wool-producing Cotswalds, the church, the windows, fables and facts, the stained glass artists and their craft, and conservation and restoration. Appendices present wills of the leading Tame family and poems about the windows, and discuss photographing them, and sources of information about stained glass. The CD-ROM contains video clips, narration, music, graphics, and text. The complete set of windows and details are shown in 35 color plates and many black-and-white photographs.
