UNITED KINGDOM---Some of the oldest stained glass windows in the world, their glowing, 800-year-old detail normally visible only to passing pigeons, have temporarily come to ground level at Canterbury cathedral, while the massive window that is their normal home is rebuilt. Although it has been repaired many times – with the mixture of types of stone and mortars adding to its problems – the huge window dates back to the 1420s. [link]
