Bristol Museum, Ashton Court House 16-17th-century panel

This panel was removed from Ashton Court House in the twentieth-century and donated to Bristol Museum. The quatrefoil glass is a 19th-century addition to the 16-17th-century centre which was originally larger in size and cut to fit the quarry shape.

It was important to edge-bond the four breaks in the central glass to retain the detailed paintwork. Some of the border glass was badly smashed and one piece required new glass as well as a new border lead. Thorough documentation was completed with photography and Adobe Illustrator. A record of intervention was kept throughout to document treatments completed and materials used. Charlotte completed this project as part of one of the final modules of the Master’s.
