Craft and Structure practice question
The Victorian restorer of the abbey has been blamed for a century for destroying its medieval glass. His own notebooks, found in 2018, tell another story: the glass was already lying in boxes in the crypt when he arrived, smashed in a storm of 1852, and what he did was to gather every fragment and set the best of them in the east window, where they remain. He did not destroy the glass; he is the reason any of it survives.
