St. John’s Church, Cardiff, Wales, UK

The two panels we restored from this church dated from 1855 and were unfortunately damaged by vandals.

Project Overview:

We needed to find out what the original inscriptions and crests had been, and luckily, the church had kept very detailed records of this information.

Concept to Completion:

After piecing the fragments together we found that a couple of the crests were salvageable with only a thin lead to bind the cracks together again, while the others needed to be recreated with extensive use of acid etched antique “flashed” glass and coloured enamels.
