Overview: |
|
The narrative sequence here is badly disturbed. These panels originally formed part of the west facade glazing but were moved
to bays 105 and 106 in 1836 before being relocated to their present location in 1910. In the course of these moves, the story
has lost all semblance of order and perhaps gained a couple of panels as well as a number of fragments from another window.
Perhaps the most interesting elements here are the figures in the corners of several of the panels though the disruption to the original design makes it impossible to draw any firm conclusions about these hypotactic elements. |
