1h 9m
St Mary's Church in Shrewsbury holds a world-famous collection of both stained and painted glass, English and Continental. In 2022, the Churches Conservation Trust (CCT) was awarded a grant of £246,883 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to repair and protect twelve windows at the Church. This important conservation work has now started, alongside development of new interpretation and an exciting programme of events and workshops for 2023 and 2024, including the Heritage Skills Series and Stained Glass Festival. Join us on 24 July to find out more about this exciting new project.
Dr Rachael Abbiss - Project Officer (North)
Rachael is currently managing the project at St Mary’s Church and is working with CCT staff and contractors to deliver all aspects of the work: conservation, interpretation, events, learning activities, workshops, and green sustainability solutions.
