A putty lamp is the tool for the job - but that's if the frame is to be kept. If the frame has no value then saw the wood so that the four pieces are separate and then continue attacking it from the wood side, rather than the glass side.

I have both bought and sold old wiggly glass from my local stained glass chap. He appreciates its significance, but I'm sure others won't.
I'm sure there will be places that would be interested in it.

So far I have had one flat out 'no' from a local reclaimation yard and no response from the other one listed in the Yellow Pages in the Norwich area.
The builders are about a 1/4 of the way through the roof and are saving more than 1/2 - mainly because of the health and safety aspects of smashing glass everywhere rather than a love of old glass. I really don't care about the cash value I'd just prefer it not to end up in a skip as it can't be replaced. Someone prepared to collect it would be a bonus.
I'll try stained glass people next, thanks for the tip.

When clean, it's worth about £100 per square metre.

Who to?
It will end up on ebay/salvo/freecycle in the end. I'm surprised at how little space it takes up so I'll be storing it and they're probably be a big clear out of reclaimed bricks etc. when we're all done and dusted.
On a more positive note, the roof windows are looking to be in better nick than we'd hoped so my joiner is hoping to be able to repair most of the frames compared to our worst case of replacing everything but the prinicpal rafters. Wish it would stop piddling with rain!
