Project Title: Commemorative Screen
Client: Local Family
Location: St. Peter & St.Paul's Church, Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire
Project Description:
Design by Nicholas Mynheer.
The three 3200mm high centre panels are made from 15mm white (low iron) kiln formed glass,
bonded to 12mm low iron toughened glass. Coloured fused glass elements, such as the fish at
St Peter's feet and the 30mm thick crucifix are bonded to the surface.
The 1800mm high background screen is constructed of 19mm toughened float glass with irregular
shaped and sandblasted mirror bonded to the surface, leaving narrow clear areas for vision
through. On the transept side of the screen mirror is again used, sandblasted with themes from the life of Christ.
The three centre panels and the background screen are mechanically fixed below floor level
and bonded to each other on 80mm wide glass spacers, creating a very secure structure.
