Summary

[edit]
Description

This large window (9m)has five lights and 20 tracery compartments, with a large figure of Saint Martin of Tours (316 - 397) and 13 scenes from his life. The window was given by Robert Semer in 1437, he is seen kneeling at the base. It was originally located at the west end of the church and removed for safety in 1940.

Across the top of the second row of panels is a Latin inscription which reads: "Pray for the soul of Sir Robert Semer, sometime Minister of this church and Chamberlain of the chapter of York, who, as he was an old man, seeing that the end of his life was naturally approaching, preordained and built this work, the seventh day of the month of October A.D. 1437, for whose soul may God be propitiated."

This is a high resolution composite image of the entire window.
