- This output on the motives for the nineteenth-century replacement glass at Durham Cathedral, involved extended analysis of a large body of historical and visual material, plus complex thematic research on ‘the beauty of holiness’ in the context of nineteenth-century religious beliefs and aesthetic contexts. No commission archives survive, so the medieval and replacement history of each stained-glass window had to be reconstructed. This process included meticulous correlation of information from local newspapers with wider Gothic Revival trends, data on the careers of architect and artists, and specialist knowledge of materials and techniques.
