Fundraising to help preserve the ruins of the old cathedral in Coventry has reached £250,000.
This will fund the cleaning and analysis of the medieval stained glass, with work starting in the summer at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
It was taken out of the cathedral before World War II and has been stored in the crypts.
The cathedral is on the World Monuments Fund 2012 Watch List and £410,000 is still needed to fund restoration work.

Maybe, The most familiar type of glass, used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels, is soda-lime glass, composed of about 75% silica (SiO2) plus sodium oxide Na2O from soda ash, lime CaO, and several minor additives. Often, the term glass is used in a restricted sense to refer to this specific use.
