Synopsis

This book studies the imagery and history of the East Window of Exeter Cathedral. It begins by exploring the role of heraldry throughout the window, organizing the numerous coats of arms into chronological order for ease of interpretation. The authors then move on to use the window as an entry point into the broader social, religious, and political life of medieval England. The book especially focuses on the window’s donor portraits, which represent key figures from the history of Devon, and the portrayal of various saints, including the city’s patron St. Sidwell. The East Window of Exeter Cathedral is a valuable resource on the history, religious beliefs, and artistic tastes of the Middle Ages.
