Recclesia has just completed a full studio conservation project on the William Morris Tree of Life window from C13 St Cybi's Church Holyhead. The stained glass was in a bad way, with some 39 broken sections of glass, some missing altogether. Glass artist Kat Walton and conservation specialist Jamie Moore led the ten-week project to safeguard the future of the window which was reinstated in December 2009 along with new protective guards.

Recclesia Stained Glass carried out two traditional skills weekends in October for Denbighshire County Council at the Dr Evan Pierce Memorial Garden in Denbigh and at Nantclwyd House in Ruthin. Both weekends were a very successful and were attended by over eight hundred people - click here for more about this and photos.

Recclesia has completed the restoration and re-creation of nineteen decorative arched fanlights in cast lead. Only two original fanlights survived meaning seventeen new units were required to match the originals. Photos will be added to the portfolio shortly. See Recclesia Fanlights for more details.
