ndow is one of the most perfect in the church. It
measures 56 feet by 25, and is almost entirely filled with its original
glass, said to have been given by Archbishop Melton in 1338. This is
remarkable not only for the purity and boldness of its scheme of
colours, but for the admirable way in which the design of the glass fits
the elaborate pattern of the tracery. It will be noticed that both the
figures and the architectural ornaments are in bolder relief than in the
earlier glass of the five sisters, or the later of the choir. Some of
the faces of the figures have been restored by Peckett, but not so as to
interfere with the decorative effect of the whole. The window contains
three rows of figures, the lowest a row of eight archbishops, the next a
row of eight saints, including St. Peter, St. Paul, St. James, and St.
Katharine, and above this a row of smaller figures unidentified. The
window at the west end of the north aisle is also very fine. It contains
a Virgin and child, and St. Katharine with her wheel. In one of the
small lights above is a figure of St. Peter, crucified head downwards.

The kneeling figure below is obviously a later insertion, as may be seen
from the incongruous colour of the arch above it.

The first window from the west in the north aisle of the nave is plain.
The other windows are filled with fragments. In the third of these the
top lights have been filled by Peckett, and contain the date of the
insertion, 1779. The rest of these windows are free from Peckett's
additions.

The second of these windows from the east is particularly worthy of
attention. It is said to have been given by a guild of bell-founders. It
was probably the particular gift of the Richard Tunnoc who died in 1330,
after holding the office of Lord Mayor of York. Perhaps he was the head
of the guild.

This window contains a most interesting representation of the casting of
a bell, with an inscription, "Richard Tunnoc me fist," and also of
Tunnoc kneeling and receiving the blessing of an archbishop, probably
Melton. Above the figure of Tunnoc is the picture of a small window, and
this certainly goes to prove that the window was given by Tunnoc
himself. There are bells in the borders of the lights and other parts of
the design.

The west window in the south aisle is as fine as its fellow in the north
aisle. It contains a representation of the Crucifixion, in which the
head of Christ is a later insertion, perhaps of the ei
