Object history | The stained glass from which this copy was made is in the eastern light of the seventh window from the west, known as the Peter de Dene window, in the north aisle of the nave of York Minster. The window was the gift of Peter de Dene, Canon and Prebendary of York, and Commissary-General of Greenfield in 1313, and was probably made in 1306. |
