No medieval glass survives here, as it was lost at the Reformation. The nineteenth century windows made in Munich were criticised for darkening the interior, suffered from industrial pollution, and have mostly been replaced. The replacement programme began with Douglas Strachan’s Moses window of 1936, followed by Herbert Hendrie’s “Christ and the World’s Work” (1940), which includes Glasgow industries, and by Francis Spear’s East Window (1951) and West or Creation Window (1958). More recent additions include the Millennium Window (1999) and a Tree of Jesse by Emma Butler-Cole Aikin (2018). Many nave windows were left unglazed on purpose, so later generations could add their own.
