Stained Glass Windows

October 9, 2023

Hidden heritage delights

As part of Christchurch's Heritage Festival St.Michaels and All Angels is offering guided talks and the opportunity to view some of this city's most significant victorian art work - its stained glass windows. The Church has just completed the restoration of its Rose window an opportunity to go behind the scenes and look at the ancient craft of stained glass creation and restoration. While St Michael's is dwarfed by the large English and European cathedral's none share the unique flavour of its native timbers and colonial settler aspirations. Yes colonialism, has had many negative impacts, but these early English settlers also brought so many positives when they founded our city,  St. Michaels and All Angels holds much of that story in its architecture and cultural referencing. It is a hidden heritage gem.
