Here at the college we have our own fine collection of stained glass in the Chapel. Also on display in the college is a piece by Evie Hone who would have been a contemporary of the designer Richard King.
The room dedicated to Stained Glass at the Hugh Lane Gallery also includes the The Eve of St Agnes by Harry Clarke which was recently visited by a younger member of the greater college community (as seen below).
