For a description of the glass in these aisles we turn to A. Clutton-Brock: “In the north aisle the east window is also very fine. It contains a representation of the Crucifixion, with St. John, St. James and the Virgin. “The first window from the east is very fragmentary. The windows in the south aisle are rather fragmentary. In the first two from the west the top lights are empty. “The second window is remarkable for the delicate modelling and drawing of the heads. The head of the Virgin reminds one of one of Lippo Lippi’s Madonnas. That of an old man with a beard in the central light is German in character. If these are compared with the crude [Illustration: YORK MINSTER: CHOIR, EAST] [Illustration: YORK MINSTER: CHOIR, WEST] and simple design of the heads in the other windows, it will be obvious that they are of a different origin. Nothing, however, is known of their history. “The third window has borders by Peckett. It contains the Jesse noted before. “The fourth window is very fragmentary. It contains a beautiful figure of a saint in one of the top lights; the other top lights are by Peckett. In the central division, at the bottom, is the name of Archbishop Lamplugh, with a coat-of-arms. (Lamplugh’s tomb is close to this window.) “The last of those windows contains painted glass given by Lord Carlisle in 1804, and bought from a church at Rouen. It is a representation of the Visitation, Mr. Winton says, taken from a picture by Baroccio, and dates from the end of the Sixteenth Century. The upper lights contain the original glass. “The east window of this aisle is very fine in colouring, and fairly coherent in design. The subject is not clear.” In the westernmost bay of the north-choir-aisle the eight-year-old son of Edward III.--=William of Hatfield=--was buried (see page 274). West of the tomb of =Archbishop Sterne= (died 1683), which has been called “an example of almost everything that a monument should not be,” we find the tomb of =Archbishop Scrope=, beheaded by Henry IV. (see page 265), interesting because it was a place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. From the north-choir-aisle we enter the =Crypt=. This was discovered after the fire of 1829. Here we find Norman work and some authorities go so far as to say some portions of the wall are of the Saxon church, built by Edwin in the Seventh Century. The capitals of the pillars (time of Roger Pont l’Évêque) are varied and very interesting.
