Zodiac and Labours of the months: Summer
Bottom left is hay making and bottom right Cancer. The middle panel shows harvesting on the left and Leo on the right. Top left is threshing an dtop right Virgo. There seems to be some mislabelling here. Hay making is labelled July and the corn harvest is described as June. The labels should be the other way round. Fortunately the most knowledgable medieval viewers of the window would have been the least literate and the the priests knew insufficient about real work to spot the difference. Was the glazier illiterate, or having a laugh?
