Overview:

It may seem we have rather a surplus of St Martin windows in the choir but remember the other one (bay 104a-b) was originally located in the western facade and only moved here in 1910. This bay on the other hand looks like it was designed to occupy its current spot, alongside St Maurille (the local Bishop Saint who was an acolyte of St Martin. Condition is very poor with several panels retaining very few original fragments.
