Originally the subject was Last Judgement and much of it remains. However in the C18 (and maybe even in the late C13) a number of C13 panels from elsewhere in the building found their way into the window. The original panels from the Last Judgement are coloured blue and marked with an asterisk below:-

A* O. Christ
2 Christ teaching
A3 Unidentified scene
A4 Unidentified scene
B3 A funeral scene (or translation of a saint's remains)
C1 The body of St Hugh being carried into Lincoln
D2 St Joseph Chosen as the Husband of the Virgin
D3 An Entombment scene
H6 Adam digging and Eve spinning
H7-11seated archbishops
