The Great West Window in Ripon Cathedral, North Yorkshire, UK.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is the Great West Window over the main entrance to the cathedral. Little is known about its' distant history but after the English Civil War and the following desecration of decorated religious buildings the window was furnished with painted glass by Henry Gyles of York.
At some point in medieval times tracery was inserted into the window but removed by Gilbert Scott while restoring the West Front in about 1890.
The present glass was installed by Burlison and Grylls 1886 and celebrates the first two bishops of the See of Ripon, Charles Longley (bishop 1836-1857) and Robert Bickersteth(bishop 1857-1884). Their coats of arms are included in the window.
