Does it have secondary glazing outside?
(also cc @BrickMan will reply to both in this)
It used to - but the secondary window outside was gone. Rotten, glass not connected to the wood and probably quite dangerous as could have fallen out on to next door's porch/drive. Stained window had to come out to be repaired, which meant taking the outer window out. Deliberately didn't put it back as would have had to pay ££££ to have a new one made.
My logic (and that of the guy who did it) was that once the stained glass had been refurbed, try it out and see if it needs the second window. That second window can't have been original, and cathedrals have stained glass which won't leak water in...
So I think I am going to need to get that outer window re made and hopefully not mess the bathroom/walls up too badly between now and then.

Neighbour has an old boiler above my bathroom which leaked onto my fresh plaster before Christmas. He got it sorted PDQ and offered to pay for repairs (didn’t take him up on it) which was great.
Happened again.
Does anyone know how bad it is to soak plaster a couple of times? Should I take him up on his offer and get it replaster? From speaking to his tenants, it’s a really old boiler that it would have been cheaper to replace than overhaul a few years ago according to the plumber who worked on it.
Also hating my stained glass window which gets a ridiculous amount of weather and is having water come in and soak the window sill and soak the underneath of the window
