| Place of origin |
Gothic windows were divided into smaller sections with decorative stonework called ‘tracery’. So great was the appeal of these complex patterns that they were sometimes used to decorate the surfaces of other objects. This window comes from a parish church, and was one of the most elaborate elements of the building.
