Grisaille is a style of stained glass window decoration adopted in the 14th Century to allow light through a stained glass window. Carlisle Cathedral also has some exquisite extensive painted wooden panels from the 1400's, not to mention the famous, wonderful carved wooden Brougham Tryptich - overlooked by the stained glass Carlisle 'Snowflake Motif' window (faithfully re-drawn by us) shown here.

The York 'Rose Window' is one of the most dramatic and famous in Northern England, appearing almost modern yet in fact a composition designed in 16th century to celebrate the marriage in 1486 of King Henry 7th and Elizabeth of York.
