Scientific investigation for a medieval stained glass conservation project at Lincoln Cathedral
(2015)
Between 2013 and 2017 four medieval lancet windows located in the south-west transept of Lincoln Cathedral are being restored and conserved at the Cathedral Glazing Department. The great majority of the glass dates from the 13th century with some pieces dating from the 13th century (Morgan 1983, pp. 21-24). in order for the conservation and cleaning of the medieval glass to take place, scientific investigations were carried out at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Berlin. The pre-conservation analysis examined the glass before any cleaning method had taken place to establish the state of the glass and its surface. A later post-cleaning analysis would provide information regarding the effectiveness of the different cleaning methods.
