East window c.1330 and after 1906 The magnificent Tree of Jesse suffered greatly in the fire of 1906, but has nevertheless been faithfully copied by the firm Ward & Hughes. Originally there were 68 figures of which 23 remained before the fire after which only fragments remained. In the tracery lghts are the remains of a Doom or Last Judgement, reminiscent of that in Carlisle cathedral. (See the reference on the left for further information)
