The Baptist. 
The central light is an insertion from an earlier window, it con¬ 
tains medallion subjects, and is probably the earliest glass of the 
York Churches. The outer lights are of the Edwardian period. 
The lower quatrefoils contain figures of saints (heads insertions), 
the western one has a female saint robed in white and richly de¬ 
corated, and holds a clasped book in one hand and in the other a

niched and pinnacled with foliaged finial.

kerchief round her chin and neck. 
The eastern light shows the Baptist in the Wilderness. He is 
bearded and bare-legged, and clothed in an animal’s skin with the

and a boy. 
The base panels have small central discs with a fieur-dedys.
