York Minster - West Window The Great West Window - 16.5m high and 7.7m wide - was the gift of Archbishop William Melton. It has eight lancets and numerous tracery lights filled with - generally - well-preserved C14 glass. The lowest row of figures contains archbishops, the middle has the Apostles - doubling up in the outer panels - while the top row contains scenes of the Annunciation, Nativity, Resurrection and Ascension, with the Coronation of the Virgin above amid the canopies. However all of the heads in the lowest row - of archbishops - have renewed heads   Tracery light details   10a 10b 10c 10d-e Coronation 10f 10g 10h 8a-9b Annunciation 8c-9d Nativity 8e-9f Resurrection 8g-9h Ascension 7a 7b 7c 7d 7e 7f 7g 7h 6a 6b 6c 6d 6e 6f 6g 6h 5a 5b 5c 5d 5e 5f 5g 5h 4a 4b 4c 4d 4e 4f 4g 4h 3a 3b 3c 3d 3e 3f 3g 3h 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 2g 2h 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 1g 1h
