Restoration work in preparation for lending one of the Miracle windows from Canterbury cathedral, depicting healings attributed to the intercession of St Thomas Becket, to the forthcoming British Museum exhibition about him and his cult has revealed that panels have been misplaced during a past restoration.
The Mail Online has an illustrated report about how the transposed panels were identified. Lending items for exhibitions can be a significant opportunity to take a fresh look at them, to clean and to conserve, as has clearly happened in this case.
