Gloucester Cathedral: East window

Megapixel composite image of the large stained east glass window. The east window of Gloucester Cathedral dates from the 1350s, the quire of the church was extended outwards to accommodate it and was the largest window in the world at that time.  More details on the figures can be found at: http://www2.glos.ac.uk/bgas/tbgas/v044/bg044293.pdf . The Gloucester cathedral website also has a detailed description of some of the main figures in the window.
