VIII. Choir, North Aisle, East Window. Five Lights. 
This window contained glass to commemorate John de Moreton, 
Lord Mayor in 1428. It probably illustrated the life of St. John, 
as Gent gives 1, St. John in the Cauldron; 2, seems a dispossession, 
&c.; 3 and 4, Bishops, &c.; below five sons—Robertus, Henricus, 
Johannes, Willelmus, and Nicholas at devotion, also seven daugh¬ 
ters—Juditha, Margareta, Alicia, Isabella ux. Roger de Morton, 
Elena, Constantia, and Johana. He adds, “ part of the window 
has been taken down, as I am informed, to give a greater light to 
the church, and which window perhaps contained the effigies of 
the parents of the children.” In the outer lights are inserted two 
panels, probably from Window II. The borders are identical. 
There is a shield bearing or a bend azure. 
IX. South Aisle, East Window. Three Lights. 
“ Crucifixion .” 
This window contains figures of the Blessed Virgin and St. 
John, the central subject was doubtless the Crucifixion, now 
replaced by St. Martin. The figures are under gabled canopies 
surmounted by tall pinnacles, on either side of which is a mer¬ 
chant’s mark, being the letter N, holding in the centre a bannered 
cross and with a star below the letter. At the top of each light is 
the oak leaf with acorn. 
(Our Lord in majesty).

St. Mary and St. John are on a red ground studded with golden 
lilies. A mutilated inscription crosses the window. “ Jprirt pur... 
NttfjO... ermine,” St. Martin is depicted on a white horse, illustrat¬ 
ing the legend—“ One severe winter, while the army was at Amiens, 
St. Martin met at the gate of that city a beggar almost naked, and 
ready to die from the cold. St. Martin quickly drew his sword, 
and cutting his cloak in two, gave half to the beggar. In the 
night, it is said, Christ wearing the half-cloak appeared to St. 
Martin, and said it was to Him that he had given it, and He 
accepted this deed of charity.”
