The stained glass windows of St. Paul’s Cathedral are among its most treasured features, filling the sacred space with colour, light, and story. More than decorative art, these windows reflect faith, remembrance, and the lives of those who have shaped both the Cathedral and the wider community. Scroll down to see pictures depicting some of the windows that currently adorn our walls.
