THE ORGANISATION behind some of the famous stained glass in York Minster is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

York Glaziers Trust, which cares for, restores and conserves the Minster's stained glass, has become one of the most well-respected stained glass studios in the world.

Its projects include conserving the Rose Window after the fire of July 1984, and the pain-staking ten-year restoration of the St William Window, which was unveiled in June.

The glaziers are now working on 700-year-old glass from the Minster's Chapter House vestibule; some of the oldest and most fragile glass the trust has dealt with.
