A THREE-YEAR project is now underway to restore and repair the 10 large stained-glass windows at All Saints Church in York. The church, in North Street, received a national lottery grant of more than £500,000 for the project, with the Prince of Wales, who made a private visit to view the 14th and 15th century treasures more than 20 years ago, making a private contribution.

Dr Robert Richards, heritage officer and ringing master at All Saints, said: “We put the project out to tender and it was eventually given to Barley Studio.
