Description This is a written and pictorial history of stained glass in the historic city of Goulburn NSW. It includes windows from churches, estate and public buildings, and houses built mainly between the 1880s to1950s. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries many houses had beautiful and intricate lead-lighting in their windows, with a variety of stained glass pieces set within the lead-lighting. Patterns developed over time, until lead-lighting went out of fashion. Cathedrals and churches also contained sets of magnificent stained glass windows, showing biblical figures and stories. All this craft is part of Australia's history. The present work is an attempt to show what was created in in one significant Australian city - Goulburn.
