I recall seeing the west window of Holy Trinity boarded up that bfta shows in 1950, (when I would be just about 2) but the window had been replaced by the time of the 1953 photo. Does anybody know offhand when it was put back?

I don't think it was replaced Choirboy - I think they just boarded it up to preserve the Stained Glass during the Bombing.

I don't know which glass in the old buildings was removed and which was just protected. Maybe it was only the ancient glass in St Michaels that was shipped out?

Trinity the West Window. This is another stunning window which replaced Victorian glass blown out in November 1940. Designed by portrait artist Hugh Easton and dedicated in 1955.

Thanks Choirboy, I was 17 in that year. I thought the image would just make the post but took me some fiddling to post it!
