The BBC writes:

Stained-glass windows creating scenes from the life of Christ have been described as a city’s ‘most spectacular pieces of art’ following their restoration.

The four scenes at Birmingham Cathedral are by renowned 19th Century artists Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.

Pictures of the restored work have been shared ahead of the official unveiling.

Over 500 days of cleaning and repairs went into the project and more than 20 panels were removed and reinstalled.
