Thanks for adding this Sue, likewise I've never heard of this before either.

There were quite a few links came up when I searched for it, but the wiki one seems to provide the most basic info, and folk can go to links from there, or do their own searches for images.  :) The christening font is glass too, and the front-y panelly bits before the altar bit. (don't know what that bit is called)
I did search the board for a previous mention, but nothing came up.
