Normandy and conservation experience

Back home after our trip to Normandy and straight into a fantastic work experience placement with a stained glass conservation studio near Watford. The week has passed far too quickly and I am constantly inspired by the generosity of time, patience and excellent skill demonstrated by the people I have had the good fortune to find myself working with.

Back to Normandy, I have managed to find little information about two of the churches I visited and took photographs of while we were away so if anyone can add information about these windows it would be most welcome.

These first images are from the large Cathedral in the centre of Dieppe.

The style of the following window is very familiar, and I would appreciate any additional information on the designer/maker.

A small town further south called Neufchâtel-en-Bray also had some very beautiful glass, I was particularly taken with this modern window above the doorway.

I also spotted further along the Nave a rather vivid piece but couldn't resist the rather fed up expression on the Lion's face. The saint is rather portly.
