Glass for Leaded Lights?

Hi,

I am looking into doing some leaded lights/copper foil work,
but the price of the glass seems to vary quite a lot, some
of it appears to be rather expensive. So do any of you know
where the best prices are in the UK.
I live in the middle of East Anglia if that helps?

TIA

Maurice,
Have you tried Tempsford SG, near Sandy in Beds.
Http://www.tempsfordstainedglass.co.uk probably the best supplier
outside London.
Glass prices vary widely from type to type and most look v. expensive
if you are using window glass as a reference point.

I live just outside Norwich and go to Trinity Stained Glass in Ber Street,
Norwich. Good selection of glass. Sale glass as well. I've never needed to
go mail order
If you're in the city it's worth a visit. I think they have a web site
www.trinitystainedglass.co.uk .

Thanks for the replies, I have had a look at both of the web
sites. Seems the best way is to get to the shop for
the sale/best prices

As an alternative to Temspford (who have a very large stock and fast
mail-order, by the way) - try Trinity Stained Glass in Ber St, Norwich
(just up from John Lewis - park in JL's Car Park).

Glass prices vary greatly - from £3.20 to £18.00 in the Trinity
Catalogue - but many of the glass shops have a 'sale rack' - where
I've found glass as low as £2 per sheet..... you pays your money & you
takes your choice g

Have fun!

Maybe it's a personal thing - but I hate having anybody else choose my
glass for me. I'd much rather see it in my hand, then I know for sure
what I'm buying - rather than ending up with what the supplier wants
to sell me g
