	Tour of the website - and how to use it. _____ Page 1 Most of the locations have a ground plan of the building with links to the windows that contain old glass. The top of the screen represents the east end. For example at POITIERS CATHEDRAL clicking on 2 will take you to the window with the Story of St Peter and St Paul (and the next page in this tour).

The famous central Crucifixion window is in a good state of repair despite the bombardments by the Hugenots in 1562 (or 1569?) and extensive restoration in the nineteenth century. All of the narrative windows unusually read from the top downwards.
