Uploader's Comments

The Jesse Window at Selby Abbey is generally thought to be the second finest window in England (the West Window of York Minster being the first). It consists of seven lights, with beautifully flamboyant tracery above, and was constructed in the year 1340. It is filled with “Jesse” glass, and again, as a “Jesse Window,” it is said to be the finest in England.
