Shining Light on Saint Alphege: A New Stained Glass Window for Bath Abbey Supporter Newsletter: June 2026 Welcome! In this issue, we’re delighted to bring you an update from commissioned artist, Neil Ireson, on his progress creating the Saint Alphege Window. Neil takes us behind-the-scenes, sharing details of his activities over the past few months, including his exciting travels to select the extraordinary glass you can see below, and the fascinating techniques Neil will use to simulate dynamic, flowing water within the Saint Alphege Window’s design. We’re also pleased to shine the spotlight on a generous supporter of the Saint Alphege Window – Benefact Trust – and bring you an update about Bath Abbey’s new Rector, Rev Dr Ian Mills, who will be joining us in the autumn.
