File:York Minster Window N16 "The Five Sisters" (16157008236).jpg
These five lancet windows date from around 1260, contemporary with the building of the north transept at the Minster.
The grisaille glass contains about 100,000 individual pieces. It was re-leaded in 1923-5 using 13th century lead from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire.
There is one medallion of 12th C glass at the bottom of the central lancet, containing blue glass with a high soda content.
Each lancet is 16.3m tall.
