Description: These five lancet windows date from around 1260, contemporary with the building of the north transept at the Minster. The grisaille glass contains about 100,000 individual pieces. It was re-leaded in 1923-5 using 13th century lead from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire. There is one medallion of 12th C glass at the bottom of the central lancet, containing blue glass with a high soda content. Each lancet is 16.3m tall. Pic by Jenny.
