Restoration of Leadlight in Paddington

This leadlight really needed urgent attention. As you see from the two pictures below, the lead had cracked and bowed, and some of the glass pieces have gone out of the lead came. The leadlight was installed on a door in a cute worker cottage in Paddington; being on a door, the leadlight was subject to frequent movement.

After removing the leadlight, I completely rebuilt the panel, using new lead and replacing the broken glass. The panel was then reinstalled in place with the help of John from JayBee Woodworks, who restored the timber trims. You can see the great result in the photo below.
