Leadlight Windows

These photos represent side projects that went hand in hand with building our mud-brick home. Firstly, Cathy's leadlight windows, and secondly the conversion of two lovely old heavily painted church pews to our dining room refectory table. Finally, my father made a leadlight window for his grandson James' bedroom wall, but died before being able to make one for Anthony.

Cut leadlight for windows being laid out prior to being leaded together.

A lead light being fitted in place (closeup). Note the smaller specially-made brick in the lower section, and the cut-out in the upper brick.

Leadlight, made by his grandfather, in James' room. This was three bricks' high, compared to the two-brick height of the other windows shown above.

Early view of a pew, to be stripped and turned into our refectory table and benches. Photos of the finished article are seen elsewhere around this site.
