Crucifixion of St Peter
14th century glass in the south aisle of York Minster. Most of the nave aisle windows retain their original 14th century glazing, with each window following a similar layout with six main narrative panels within canopies. Much of the glass however is seriously patched and confused by damage and successive repairs over the centuries.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
