Canterbury, "Becket's Crown" 36
Thirteenth century medallions; notice circular and other
forms enclosing the figures. The heavy iron bars needed
to support the great weight of lead are skilfully adjusted
to the design. The world-famous shrine stood in the centre
of this space. Tombof Black Prince in foreground, and above
it armour he wore at Crecy.
Lincoln, Rose Window 56
Tracery unusual in that it does not radiate from centre.
Quantity of greenish grisaille used emphasises leaf-like
design. Thirteenth century medallions in the tall lancets
below.
York Minster, "Five Sisters" 62
Softly toned grisaille, with delicate patterns in faint
colour. Of its type unsurpassed in the world. Note
difference between mellow strength of this glass and
thinness of modern glazing in upper tier of lancets.
