| Credit line | Given by Mrs. George Milner in memory of Brigadier General George Milner, C.M.G., D.S.O. |
| Object history | Believed to be originally from the West window of the Guildhall in York. Subsequently installed at Acomb Priory. Given by Mrs. G. Milner, c/o Lady Vivian Glynn of Bodmin in Cornwall. |
| Historical context | Note attached in Register: (1 January 1953) Postcard from Knowles to Lane:...Corporation Minute 22 Sept 1684 ordered that Mr Gyles have £20 paid him for finishing the window in Guildhall according to the patterne brought by him to this court. York House Book vol. 38. The window had been ordered "to be set up in Guildhall according to the Modell now presented to this court" on 15 Dec. 1679. Note in Register (referring to B&W photo in Register): This photograph is apparently the 'print' mentioned in the registered papers as having been given by Mrs Milner, with the glass; the window shown in it differs very considerably from the glass itself. Note in Register: In her letter (RP 26/1693) Mrs Milner said she believed the figures of Truth (actually Mercy) and Justice were in Ireland. Note in Register: Mr Trevor Brighton believes these panels are not from Guildhall but are similar ones made for Leeman's House, Acomb, York. |
