Oxford, New College Antechapel 144
Transition window, presented by William of Wykeham, Founder of
the College. Stone frames are already Perpendicular: note the
"pepper-box" tracery lights. The glazing, as usual, lags behind
the architecture, and, because of its strong colour and flat
drawing, is more Decorated than Perpendicular.
Gloucester, Choir 162
Great east window commemorative of knights who fought at Crecy.
Backgrounds of pink and soft blue. Tracery lights no longer
differentiated from window below, as during Decorated period.
Note elaborate masking of earlier walls by later Perpendicular
work.
Coventry, Guildhall 182
Splendid row of ancient English kings, and, below, a great
tapestry. In the centre of the window, and again on the
tapestry, appears Henry VI., who was a member of the guild.
Handsome example of mediaeval hall.
York Minster, East Window 188
Tremendous sheet of colour, 78 by 32 feet. Lower half of stone
frame built in a double plane, and carries a gallery across
face of the glass.
Winchester, Nave 200
The excellent effect produced by the Fifteenth Century
fragments with which this window is glazed proves that colour
is more important than design in glass. Note swerving to right
and left of two principal mullions, thus relieving a monotony
of upright lines.
