York Minster's stunning Great East Window will be preserved for many generations to come thanks to a revolutionary new glass being utilised to protect it.
The medieval masterpiece was designed by artist John Thornton and dates back to the 15th century.
It is the size of a tennis court and the largest single expanse of medieval glass in Britain.
The window has been removed from the cathedral and is being painstakingly conserved by York Glaziers Trust.
The trust is harnessing a cutting-edge UV resistant glass as part of the external protective glazing for the 15th century window.
York Minster has the privilege of being the first building in the UK to use the special glass.
