According to The Guardian, thousands of stained glass fragments from Coventry Cathedral, which were shattered during the 1940 Luftwaffe bombing and stored in wooden crates, have been digitized following an ambitious cataloguing project. Attributed to the 15th-century master glazier John Thornton, the collection features biblical scenes, intricate animal motifs, and detailed portraits. Andrew Hines, head of heritage at the cathedral, described the collection as a 'medieval jigsaw puzzle' of international significance. The project, supported by the World Monuments Fund, allows the public to view these pieces for the first time in nearly 90 years via the Bloomberg Connects app.
