To experience the Lady Chapel is rather like being inside a great jewelled casket, for the glazing combines a profusion of deep, vibrant colours with a sparkling, silvery framework of canopies in pure white glass.
The effect is cleverly achieved by a judicious "orchestration" of colour-harmonies in the selection of raw material.
Above the cross beam is seen the mocking label 'INRI' (Jesus of Nazareth king of the Jews).
Apocryphal writings record that Mary stayed in the home of John until her death.
Below, the panel depicts the ram caught in the thicket, part of the story of the sacrifice of Isaac.
