THE ANCIENT GLASS IN YORK CHURCHES. 
HOLY TRINITY, Goodramgate. 
I. The “Walker” Window. II. The Blessed Virgin. III. SS. Paulinus 
and Olaf. IV. Shields—Provence and Plantagenet. V. Ros— Vere, 
VI. Percy—Mowbray. 
I. East Window. Five Lights, c. 1470. 
The window (fig. 58) consists of five lights under a four centred 
arch. Each light has a cinquefoiled head, rising from the sides to 
the central light. 
The canopies in the cinquefoils are very short and show the 
groining beneath : the heads of the three taller lights contains 
shields ; below are five figures with subject panels beneath. The 
canopies, shafting, and figures are white, shaded with a little 
yellow, the backgrounds to the figures and subjects are alternately 
red and blue. 
The fact of the church being dedicated to the Holy Trinity is 
emphasised by the central light being devoted to representations 
of the Trinity.

The upper panel depicts the Father in Pity holding in front of 
him the lacerated body of his Divine Son, whilst the Holy Spirit, 
in the form of a Dove, rests on the head of Christ. From a small 
kneeling figure of a priest, issues the words, inscribed on a scroll, 
‘Tc atiova ct glorified 0 bcata 2Trimtas " (I worship and glorify 
Thee, O blessed Trinity). In the usual representations of the 
Trinity, in York, Our Father exhibits His Son on the Cross. As 
in the window at St. John’s, there is a second representation of 
the Trinity, but in this case the treatment is entirely different. 
The panel below shows three persons crowned and seated. 
Each face is bearded and within an aureole. Christ sits on the 
right hand of the Father, and His crown is encircled by a wreath 
of thorns, and His under garment, showing drops of blood, is 
continued across the knees of the other two persons of the Trinity, 
symbolising the Divine Unity. In front stands the Blessed Virgin 
(head restored and without the crown).
