I'm so grateful to Jasmine and Emily for organising such a phenomenal week, and for giving me the opportunity to attend with a Student Bursary, and so thankful for the welcoming atmosphere and friendly approach of the attendees!

I had the privilege of attending the @stainedglassmuseum.bsky.social study tour in York last week, absolutely full of the most astounding medieval and post-medieval glass both in the city of York and the East Riding! I was particularly thrilled with visiting the Minsters at York, Beverley, & Howden.

This roundel was made and designed by stained glass artist Harcourt Doyle in 1939 as a wedding gift to his friends. Their son later donated the piece to The Stained Glass Museum in memory of his parents, Arthur and Joan Platt.

We had a great visit from Littleport Primary School this week as they learnt all about portraiture. They enjoyed seeing lots of stained glass examples from regular to regal! They also enjoyed recreating #KehindeWiley’s St Adelaide too with our new fantastic knitted (and sparkly!) orb & sceptre!
