“Bishops Eye” Rose Window, Lincoln Cathedral.

Lincoln Cathedral features two major “rose windows”, which are highly uncommon features of medieval architecture in England.

 

On the north side of the cathedral there is the “Dean's Eye” which survives from the original structure of the building and on the south side there is the “Bishop's Eye”, featured here, which was most likely rebuilt between 1325–1350.

 

This south window is one of the largest examples of curvilinear tracery seen in medieval architecture.
