It’s difficult to overstate what an achievement this will be. I can’t recall anything so ambitious other than in wars.
 
One incorrect detail in the article :

"none of the stained glass was seriously damaged in the conflagration"

Whilst none of the original Mediaeval nor the later 19th Century ones were, the replacement stained glass windows with modern design, put in after some WW2 damage, generally did not survive. There were not very many of them though, and it's a relatively minor loss.
