the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth, and on one side is the 
Coronation of the Virgin. 
III. Th ird from West. Three Lights. 
11 Jesse'" Window, c. 1390. 
Gent in 1730 records this window" being almost plain. F. Bedford 
made a drawing of it (fig. 38), and wrote, “ This glass appears to 
be of earlier date than the window it fills, and most probably 
belonged originally to one of the York churches. Though the 
general effect is good, the design has nevertheless suffered from 
the transfer and its unity is considerably broken up. The three 
lights are filled with figures representing prophets and kings, three 
of which are included in the tracery, though it would appear from 
the fragments inserted that this portion of the original window w r as 
filled with a representation of the Last judgment.” 
On a dark green diapered background is a white Vine stem 
intertwined and forming a series of panels in which stand kings
