PAINTED GLASS IN YORK HOUSES. 
Many of the houses in York had stained glass panels in their 
windows. We have already mentioned some in the houses of 
Giles and Peckitt. A panel (fig. 76) from a house in Gillygate 
represents the landing of William III. at Torbay, it is now in the 
Museum. Coats of Arms were more frequent. There is one 
at Mr. Bowman’s shop in Micklegate, a former residence of the 
Wharton’s. It bears arg. 3 pears or and in chief a demi-lion or 
with crest, a yellow bird with a pear in its claws. Motto—“ Amo 
ut tnbeno.” The banqueting room over the gateway of the George 
W. Watson.

Inn, Coney Street, had a window, overlooking the yard, which 
contained, in painted glass, shields of the Merry Monarch, his 
brother the Duke of York, afterwards James II., the 10th Earl of 
Northumberland, George Villiers 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and 
the 2nd Earl of Stafford, K.G. 
In the old Council Chamber and Minster Library are a number 
of heraldic shields. Animals are often commemorated in windows 
of houses. There are two favourite dogs—Rover in a field—and 
Die on a cushion—at Micklegate House, the town residence of the 
Bourchiers. The first is inscribed “ W. Peckitt, Pinxt —56," and 
the other “ — P(inx)t 175—
