Dick Whittington window
Glass by John Hayward in Dick Whittington's own local church of St Michael Paternoster Royal. Whittington paid for a rebuilding of the church in the early 15th century and was himself buried here in 1423. The window shows him with his legendary cat ( though there is some dispute as to whether the cat was an animal or a boat, both equally appropriate to a merchant). Above the figure is a representation of the streets of London paved in gold with the seal of the Mayor of London, an office which Whittington himself occupied on four occasions.
