The Lady Chapel & Great East Window, York Minster

            The east end of York Minster, England, was built between 1361 and 1405 in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Its Lady Chapel, completed in 1373, is dominated by the extraordinary Great East Window (centre), which is the largest medieval stained-glass window in England. Larger in size than a tennis court, the window underwent a decade-long restoration and conservation project from 2008 to 2018.

In gothic churches, the Lady Chapel is usually the largest and most prominently positioned chapel, and it is often the place where one finds the best decorations, including statues, roof bosses and stained-glass windows. Sadly, this also made lady chapels very popular things to destroy during the Reformation, which means that there are few remaining.
