Stained glass Rose window at St Thomas church Jersey

Church of St Thomas, St Helier,
Jersey, C. I.

The church of St Thomas, is known as the Cathedral of Jersey. It is a large beautiful church that underwent a large project of restoration and refreshment. I was comissioned to do quite a lot of work there . This included remaking the clock face on the tower. Removing and restoring the large Rose window, as well as the lancet bays below it. There was also a couple of figurative windows of St Thomas, and St Joseph that were in bad condition with some important broken pieces. These windows were removed and completely restored. There was also some smaller windows high up above the Altar, that needed re-building, or repairing.

It was quite funny, because the clock face is very large, and in order to save time and energy going up and down nine stories of the scafold and the spiral staircase, I was able to crawl in and out through one of the large lower segments whilst working on it. To all the commutors in the traffic coming down Victoria street, I must have looked lik a “Cuckoo” going in and out of the clock.
