The York Glaziers Trust is the oldest and largest independent stained glass studio in the UK. It began life as the Minster Glaziers, a direct workforce of York Minster charged with the care of its 128 stained glass windows. From 1967 the Minster Glaziers became an independent charitable trust dedicated not only to the preservation of York Minster’s windows, but to the restoration of important stained glass throughout the UK. Although part of a longstanding vocation dating back to the medieval period, the company today mixes traditional craft skills with cutting-edge technologies.
