Exeter glazing, and particularly the Great East Window, is of major importance. For the first time, this study establishes the correct dating, provenance and authorship of all the Great East Window's figure panels and most of its heraldic glass, and substantially rewrites the general history of the Cathedral's glazing. In the process, important parts of the Exeter glass are identified with the output of a previously unrecognized fifteenth-century studio whose work can be traced in Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.
"the authors and the University of Exeter are to be congratulated on a very valuable edition to the bibliography of English stained glass. Everyone interested in the subject should obtain a copy." (Journal of Stained Glass)
