Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year The Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) is happy to report that, over the course of 2023, its trustees and members continue to research, publish and communicate the results of their research to the wider public through formal publication; an accessible website and picture archive; and the quarterly online magazine, Vidimus. In the Spring of 2023, the Corpus published its tenth summary catalogue volume, on the medieval stained glass of West Yorkshire. The volume, by Brian Sprakes, is published by Oxford University Press. A study volume on Reused twelfth-century glass at York Minster is ready for editing, with funding being sought to support publication; a volume on Windows & Wills is now scheduled for completion by the end of 2024. Good progress has been made on research, photography, and the compilation of text for a number of other volumes, including three county surveys covering the medieval stained glass of Essex, Kent and Norfolk. This last, on one of the country’s richest stained glass counties, will form a major work, comprising six volumes, towards the publication of which its author has secured two significant grants. The quarterly online publication, Vidimus, continues to flourish, with its four issues for 2023 incorporating news, features, reviews and publication notices, reaching an international audience of over 2000 subscribers. The Corpus continues to work with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) at the University of York in migrating the project’s database to its new format to ensure its sustainability, and ease of maintenance and future development. A paper by British trustee David King has been accepted for presentation at the Corpus Vitrearum International Colloquium to be held in Erfurt in summer 2024. Two meetings of the charity’s trustees and committee were held in April and September, to ensure the current range of projects stay happily on course. The Corpus is grateful for the continued support of both its academic sponsor, The British Academy, and also of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers for its financial support of Vidimus. The trustees and committee were sad to learn in 2023 of the deaths of two long standing photographic contributors to the project. Mike Dixon worked closely with Corpus trustee and author, David King, photographing the stained glass of Norfolk over many years. Gordon Plumb specialised in the photography of stained glass for over 30 years; his images appear in numerous Corpus publications and form a key part of the project’s picture archive. Committee member, Dr Penny Hebgin-Barnes, also successfully memorialised Gordon’s valuable Flickr website.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the The very limited funds available to the Corpus Vitrearum (Great Britain) to spend freely on its activities
charity’s policy on reserves (currently totally an income of around £5,000 per annum) mean that it is not reasonable or practical to set
money aside as a reserve. The charity’s major and most expensive activities, namely the production of its
print volumes and its on-line magazine, are funded primarily through the securing of grants specifically for
these purposes and the funds are ring-fenced for these purposes only. The limited general funds are deployed
to support these activities at the heart of the charity (for example, to cover authors’ basic travel expenses)
and to maintain the charity’s website. There are habitually more potential demands on the charity’s funds in
supporting these central activities than there are funds available. Claims on the charity’s funds are discussed
and approved by the trustees at bi-annual meetings and by the chair of trustees.
Details of any funds materially in deficit No funds are in deficit

You may choose to include additional

• the charity’s principal sources of funds
(including any fundraising);
• how expenditure has supported the key

• investment policy and objectives including
