Help us to restore this beautiful, huge window! You can sponsor a pane from just £30.
Did you know? St Anne's pictorial window is enamelled, not stained glass.
For more information and to sponsor your pane, see stanneslimehouse.org/restora…
Over 300 years, environmental conditions have changed, creating challenges in keeping St Anne's watertight. This 2018 film by Callum Sykes shows some of the issues, now resolved via rainwater failsafe drainage thanks to Canary Wharf Contractors Ltd.

Although our team can't meet at the moment, planning for the conservation of the pictorial window continues. Lots of exciting ideas for sharing knowledge and inspiration from pictures in glass. Did you know this window is a massive 6.4 x 3 m?
