Historic windows which have witnessed and illuminated some of our most renowned history, from the attempted escape of Charles I and the revolutionary experiments of Charles Darwin to the final days of Queen Victoria, are now at risk, English Heritage warned today (28 September), as the charity revealed the catalogue of threats causing the decline of windows in England’s most significant historic buildings.
