Scope and Content
This fine perpendicular window originally contained only six lights, which were painted in Bishop Stapledon's time, before the year 1326. In 1389 it was enlarged to a nine-light window, probably to make it accord with the honourable position it occupies. The re-arrangement of the old stained glass in the enlarged window and the painting of the additional glass to fill the added lights was entrusted to Robert Lyen, the Cathedral glazier, and the ingenuity displayed by this perpendicular artist to match the geometircal work of the earlier craftsman is worthy of the attention of all lovers of mediaeval art.
