York Minster
Sir, —There was a short article in Monday’s issue, “York Minster’s East Window,” in connexion with the forthcoming marriage of the Duke of Kent. The London correspondent who apparently supplied this information averred that this win-
dow “is the biggest in England and possibly in the world.” He seems to have got off the rails quite a bit. Apart from my own knowledge of English cathedrals, from which alone I would challenge this statement quite happily, let me quote an authoritative work on the subject, a propos of Gloucester Cathedral: “The great east window is the largest in England, being 162 square feet in excess of that at York Minster, with an area of 2736 square feet. As already stated, it is a memorial to the men who fell at Crecy.”—Yours, etc, M.T. May 2, 1961.
