Southwell Minster’s Angel Window will feature in Southwell Minster’s Angel Window will feature in #DivineLight, the latest campaign by the Association of English Cathedrals that features the remarkable stained glass of England's cathedrals every day through Advent and Christmas.

This window was installed in 1996 and was designed and painted by Patrick Reyntiens and made in York. Reyntiens described it as “a great gathering of angels enjoying being with God, just all joy and worship”. In all there are over 300 angels – can you find them all?
