[Magdalen] Stained glass wasRe: York Remembered.

[Michael Bishop]

Yes - I knew that the allegedly older glass was in Germany but could not 
remember where. The experts say that ours is not quite so old, but 
close. It delighted me a few years ago when a book on the stained glass 
of England was published (English Stained Glass by Painton Cowen) Our 
window features on the introductory page.
I love the report passed on to me that when the window went to be 
conserved by the York Glaziers some years before I came to the parish, 
the sight of it forced the rewriting of some claims of more prodigious 
and famous churches about which church had the oldest glass. We trumped 
their claims!
