The Last Judgement. Choir, east window - detail : much glass of c1340-50 in the tracery, restored by Wailes in 1856.
The East Window in decorated style dates from about 1350, as part of the rebuilding of the Cathedral after the fire of 1292. It is over 50 feet high and has been attributed, but without conclusive evidence; to Ivo de Raughton. Some of the original stained glass survives in the very fine tracery in the upper part of the window, depicting the last judgement of Christ at the top. The lower part of the window, depicting the life of Christ, is the work of Hardman and Co. It dates from 1861, and is in memory of Bishop Hugh Percy.
This window display allowed people to walk up, write their secret, and post it anonymously. Sort of like a Grouphug.us IRL.

I am a BIG fan of window lighting. It softens everything, and adds a warm glow. Here, there are 3 different windows one looks through.
North nave window at Burton Hastings, installed in 2001 and designed by local artist Roger Fifield.
Fifiled's work makes a very attractive contemporary adition to this ancient building, and is beautifully painted and stylised, echoing his earliest work from the 1960s, without looking backwards.
The subject appears to be a celebration of village life, with various landmark buildings and elements of the village featured without any obvious religious theme (beyond the small dove in the tracery light above).
This formula for stained glass seems to be popular with certain congregations, who prefer to commemorate 'down-to-earth' subjects of mainly local, secular relevance, than convey a spiritual message. The artist is then given a 'shopping list' of relevant features to include in the design at all cost!
This 16th C. glass is probably originally from St John's Rouen. The outer panels depict scenes from the life of St John as in s.VII.
The central panels were acquired in 1973.
Mommy, I want that one!
I was going for the reflection in the window. But then they came to interrupt me. And thus they became the victims of the Nikonator.
The happy snapper struck before they knew it!
East window of the north chapel by Margaret Aldrich Rope 1933, a more refined version of the subjects and composition she used for her much bolder east window at St John's in Coventry. For more on the artist see the below website:-

Hereford's most impressive church after its cathedral is the parish church of All Saint's, a grand 13th/14th century building with a tapering north west steeple, the tallest structure in the city since the cathedral's wooden spire was removed in the 17th century.
All Saints rewards the visitor with its internal fittings, principally the superb 14th century canopied choir stalls (a range of five on each side of the chancel) complete with finely carved and amusing misericords (further examples can be found in the north chapel).
There is further impressive woodwork from the 17th century in the pulpit and the large reredos in the south chapel (probably moved here from the main altar). The east wall of the chancel also bears a faded medieval mural of the Virgin Mary, apparently part of an Annunciation scene.
The church also boasts a fine set of six stained glass windows by the noted late Arts & Crafts artist Margaret Aldrich Rope dating from the 1930s onwards, including the main east windows of the chancel and chapels.
The church is one of the most accessible of city churches since it was part converted in the late 20th century to community use with a cafe at the west end of the nave with space for craft stalls in the south chapel. The fayre is good and means a wider range of people experience the beauty within the building than would in a normal city church, consequently All Saints is never short of visitors.

There was a fat white rabbit in my yard today. Then a little baby bunny hopped in to join the rabbit... I thought Punkin was going to hit the roof! Just to put Punkin over the edge, a large hawk swooped down into the yard in hopes of catching the bunny... but the bunny hid in the bushes just in time. Good bunny! Needless to say, Punkin spent most of the morning window shopping for things that he cannot have.
