Nelson Cathedral Windows

The windows of Nelson Cathedral are particularly good, at least compared wth the chicken-wired ones at Napier and the awful collection at Wellington - a product perhaps of Nelson's earlier foundation combined with some very decent modern work. 

For my thoughts on the cathedral itself, go to my Nelson Cathedral page.
