New Exhibition at the Minster: Conserving the St William Window
Published: on 10th February 2003 by Eleanor Course in Press Releases
A new exhibition on the St William Window has been unveiled in York Minster. This is a unique chance to view the second phase of the conservation work on the window by the York Glaziers Trust. The exhibition consists of six panels of exquisite 15th century glass, and features a photographic display of the conservation work.
The window, situated in the North Quire Aisle, tells the story of the life, death and miracles of St William of York. He was elected Archbishop of York in 1143, died in 1154, and was canonised in 1227 after miracles at his tomb. The window is made up of 105 different panels, and stands 78 feet high.
The exhibition runs from Tuesday 4th to Sunday 23rd February in the Chapter House Vestibule, and admission is free.
