Divine Light by Janet Gough

Divine Light by Janet Gough

The stained-glass windows of Englands cathedrals illuminate interior spaces, communicate religious and other messages, and perhaps offer a glimpse of heaven. This book tells the remarkable story of these much-loved works of art.

For eight years the Church of England’s Director of Church Buildings and Secretary of the Church Buildings Council and Cathedrals Fabric Commission, Janet Gough OBE has written four illustrated paperbacks to encourage wider enjoyment of these extraordinary buildings, Director's Choice: Churches of the Church of England, Director's Choice: Cathedrals of the Church of England, Deans' Choice: Cathedral Treasures of England and Wales, and most recently (2025) Divine Light: The Stained Glass of England’s Cathedrals. A Cambridge graduate in History and History of Art, Janet worked at Sotheby’s for nine years, was a trustee at the Churches Conservation Trust, the Museum of Fulham Palace and the Friends of the V&A and guided and lectured at the V&A. Janet advised Royal Mail on the special Christmas 2024 stamps, which featured five cathedrals from across the UK. Janet received an OBE for services to heritage in 2017.
