Historians have dated a stained glass window at Canterbury Cathedral and have found that it is several centuries older than was previously thought. It was thought to be Victorian but actually dates back to the 12th Century.

Amazing that glass that old can survive. I design and create stained glass, and have used old (100 years) glass which sometimes just crumbles. So nice to see such a nice piece survived.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Amazing it is. You would have suspected it would have been destroyed during the Protestant Reformation.
