The large pieces of glass with bright coloured boarders are Georgian. They throw a wonderful range of coloured lights into the church when the sun shines through the windows.
The rare and high quality glass are the small pieces of stained glass in the tracery. The one of St Peter has been enlarged and is hanging on the wall. These small 15th century pieces survived the reformation and the civil wars - perhaps because they were small and at the top of the window?
The 2 ladies are working on scaffolding to access the tracery lights in the renewed masonry in order to refit the cleaned and restored stained glass figures.
The fine medieval stained glass figures contrast with bright colours of the Georgian glass

The Bishop Chris of St Germans said:
“I am delighted to see this ambitious project coming to fruition through a combination of local vision, faith, hard work and generosity. Now backed up and supported by the National Lottery. Not only will these works preserve a place of very special quality but they will make it even more accessible and usable for the wider community and all who find their way to this beautiful corner of Cornwall. When these works are completed I look forward once again to visiting this inspiring place of prayer and pilgrimage and encourage you to do the same.”
