Stained Glass Windows, St John’s Cathedral - Portsmouth, Hampshire - Stained Glass Windows on Waymarking.com

"During the second world war Portsmouth was very heavily bombed during The Blitz and suffered extensive damage from conventional and incendiary devices. St John's was badly damaged during the air raids in 1941, all of the original stained glass windows except one, the Dean's window, were destroyed or badly damaged, the Bishop's house next door was totally destroyed.

The cathedral's windows were restored during the 1950's by Aurthur Buss. The window in the north transept is designed to commemorate the Second Vatican Council and the centenary of the diocese. The great east window shows the Holy Trinity surrounded by the host of heaven and the great west window is divided into three sections with decorative tracery, the window sections depict St Swithun, St John the Evangelist, Our Lady, St Edmund, St Joseph and St Wilfrid."
