Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Dominick Reyntiens
Sir: While I welcome June Osborne's letter (6 January) putting the record straight on who actually made the "Piper window" in Iffley, may I be so bold as to remove some final kinks.
My father, Patrick Reyntiens, learnt his craft from Joseph Nuttgens's father, E J. Nuttgens, the famous glass painter. In later years, my father taught the craft to David Wasley and employed both him and Joseph Nuttgens in his studio, where they frequently worked on Piper windows. The final tally on the realisation of Piper windows is: Patrick Reyntiens in the region of 50, David Wasley, three, and Joseph Nuttgens, one.
In the contract of Liverpool Cathedral, my father is credited as co-designer with John Piper.
Yours faithfully,
Dominick Reyntiens
Winchester, Hampshire
