Summary:

The early 16th century stained glass at Fairford Parish Church depicts the medieval view of Christendom, with the Virgin Mary, and the Incarnation at its heart. Unique in the UK in preserving the original medieval glazing scheme, the church offers the only opportunity to share the experience of a medieval parishioner and witness the magnificent creations of the stained glass artist of the Middle Ages. The first book to study the medieval glazing scheme in the wider context of the economic, social, religious and artistic life of late medieval England is accompanied by a CD-ROM allowing new insights into the technical production and artistic creation of the glass.
