Summary
Description Lincoln Cathedral, Deans eye window (38137302184).jpg |
The window was built between 1220 and 1235, and is a good example of an Early English plate-tracery rose window. The geometric design, with concentric tiers of circular window lights, was innovative in the early part of the 13th century and predates the geometric tracery of the later decorated style of Gothic architecture. The tracery is carved from locally quarried Lincoln limestone and is decorated with stiff leaf foliage carving on the outside. The window dates from the period of restoration of the Cathedral by Saint Hugh, following an earthquake in 1185. The Bishops Eye window in the south transept was built at the same time, but was reconstructed in 1330.
