Monty Don puts three more passionate beginners through their paces as they follow their dreams of learning the ancient craft of stained glass. The knowledge of manufacturing glass was brought to Britain by the Romans over two thousand years ago along with the seed of a new religion called Christianity. As this religion flourished and the great cathedrals of the Middle Ages soared up towards heaven, so the craft of stained glass rose to a similarly transcendent level as it strove to tell Bible stories to a largely illiterate congregation while pouring God's light into these Gothic buildings. In this episode, full-time mum Abigail Ross, 40, trainee architect James Wignall, 24, and grandmother Valerie Rolls, 67, take up their places as enthusiastic beginners in a south London glass studio to learn this ancient craft.
