Abstract: The intention of this paper is to review the archaeological evidence for the existence and activities of glaziers in England at the end of the Middle Ages and during the Reformation in particular. Scholars such as Pamela Graves (2001, 486) have touched on this topic, particularly when considering the movement and survival of medieval windows during the turbulent decades of the 1530s-1540s. However, such studies have tended to focus on the actual windows themselves, rather than the people and processes behind their translation. This paper seeks to examine the physical evidence for the specialist role of the glazier during the Reformation, in an attempt to discern what archaeology can tell us about the activities of this overlooked craft.
