Rediscovering a Medieval Master-Piece: John Thornton’s Stained Glass Apocalypse
– Good Energy Stage
In 1405 the Dean and Chapter of York Minster commissioned the largest stained glass window ever made in medieval England. With a huge illuminated Apocalypse at its core, it was the creation of master-glazier John Thornton. The current conservation of York Minster’s Great East Window, under the supervision of Sarah Brown of the University of York and York Glaziers Trust, is providing exciting new insights into this most intriguing of illuminated narratives.
