New windows for St John's

A photo from 1909 shows the front of St John's - before the doorway was made.
The windows were 'leaded light panes'
These must have been replaced (not as a result of the riots - which were in 1882) with what really looked like opaque bathroom glass:
So at long last, thanks to Finbars Glass of Liskeard, the glass has now been restored to the original 'leaded light' type. They certainly let more light into the interior of the church, but they also smarten up the fronting.
