Stained Glass Windows by Shrigley and Hunt Ltd.

A film showing the design and production of a stained glass window at Shrigley and Hunt Ltd in Lancaster. Following shots of Lancaster including its narrow streets and alleys, the film moves to the workshop of Shrigley and Hunt Ltd. A window is designed and drawn out on paper. Individual glass shapes are cut to size, painted and fired in a kiln. The glass shapes are placed on plate glass and joined together to allow further painting. The finished glass is 'leaded' together and the joints of the lead are soldered to complete the window. The film ends with shots of stained glass windows in a church.
