This is the first post. Fittingly it may well be one of the oldest places I have visited. Lastingham in North Yorkshire dates back to Saxon times. However the first stone buildings originate to about 700 AD. It seems that the stone monastery was re-erected from about 1070. There are numerous ancient artifacts in the crypt and they will be shown elsewhere. The window however has a circular arch and I would like to consider it as Norman.
However it is unlikely to have contained glass - but more likely to have had a wooden door. The age of the glass is uncertain. It does seem to be quite fine in design. Very unlikely to have any significant age. Fitting design.
I will be studying the history of coloured glass. Probably published an a separate page of the blog.
