DESCRIPTION:This talk presents work on Early Gothic stained glass from thr
 ee series of windows in Canterbury Cathedral dated to the late twelfth to 
 early thirteenth centuries. Using a recently developed methodology\, the g
 lass was analysed for diagnostic constituents using hand-held portable X-r
 ay fluorescence (pXRF).\n\nThe results elucidate the relationships between
  the three main series of stained glass installed after the Cathedral fire
  of 1174 and allow insights into the sequence of the glazing scheme. We re
 veal a chronological change in glass supply in the late twelfth century an
 d differentiate two glass origins: France and the Rhenish region. Interest
 ingly\, we found that the use of these two types of glass is determined by
  their colour\, with French glass favoured for blues\, whites\, and greens
  and Rhenish glass for reds and yellows.\n\nFinally\, we comment on the ac
 count of Theophilus\, a key source for the production of coloured glass fo
 r windows.\n\n*This event is in person\, but will be streamed at: https://
