THE ANCIENT GLASS IN YORK MINSTER. 
The border of the central light depicts monkeys seated and 
playing on musical instruments as tabor, pipe, bagpipe, harp, 
violin, guitar, clarionet, trombone, and bell. The side lights have 
bells, white and gold, alternately, suspended from a stock in a 
trefoiled and embattled canopy. 
The space between the coloured panels is white, diapered with 
vine foliage, and in the centre of each is a bell within a small 
pointed quatrefoil. 
The background of the lower coloured subjects consists of circles 
enclosing a spread eagle and a small quatrefoil between the circles. 
That of the upper subjects consists of circles enclosing a cross. 
This window was taken out and restored in 1911.

Pilgrimage. 
In the lower band of subjects the central one depicts seated an 
archbishop, habited in green, and holding the model of a church 
and a large golden key. The side lights depict a nobleman and 
his lady going on a pilgrimage. In the western light is a nobleman 
in armour, and with staff and satchel adorned with the ‘ pilgrim’s 
shell,' he is attended by a banner bearer on horseback. The 
bearings on the banner are “ vairy,” may be in honour of Robert 
de la Warde who was at Caerlaverock. The eastern light exhibits 
a lady with staff and wallet, she is attended by a horseman who 
holds an antler.
