Stephen Pope, who helped to oversee the renovations, described the window as "magnificent"
A stained glass window that was shot with an air rifle in the 1960s has finally been repaired using government funding.
The Victorian window at St John the Baptist Church in Crowthorne, Berkshire, was restored after it received more than £700.
The church said "more urgent" work, including replacing the roof, meant it could not pay for window.
It was repaired in time for its 150th anniversary last year.
Stephen Pope, who helped to oversee the renovations, said the window was "a magnificent, single-light window of the Madonna and Child and an excellent example of Anglo-Catholic iconography".
The grant came from a £42m conservation fund to repair listed places of worship, external.
