Summary

Provenance
Much of stained glass at Lyme Park was originally made to be displayed in St Mary's Church in Disley. Some of this glass was removed in the early nineteenth century by Thomas Legh and re-housed in the Drawing Room and Porter's Lodge, probably during Wyatt's remodelling from 1814. Other fragments may be European in origin dating from a range of periods; It is thought that Thomas Legh may have collected these examples during his travels abroad.
