Rededication of Madison Stained Glass Windows
The rededication of windows at Christ Episcopal Church will signify the end of a 10-year restoration project of 21 stained-glass windows in the church, including the 11 that were memorials and original windows that date from 1850. Those windows include the three large, lancet-shaped windows above the altar. The Henry Hannen Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa., which made the windows that later failed, also made the lancet windows. The Christ Church windows were removed two at a time and taken to Wardell Art Glass Studio in Aurora, Ill. There, John Clark restored each window inch by inch, with assistance from his wife, Evelina Jarosz Clark. They will speak at the rededication about preserving the windows.
