Lichfield Cathedral - South Transept Window

South Transept Lichfield

The vast south transept window at Lichfield Cathedral is one of the most imposing works of High Victorian stained glass in the building. Installed between 1869 and 1873 as part of the 19th-century restoration campaign, it was designed and executed by the prolific Gothic Revival studio Clayton & Bell. Comprising nine tall lancets crowned by rich tiers of tracery lights, the window forms a complex yet coherent theological cycle centred on the Majesty of Christ and the ranks of heavenly and ecclesiastical witnesses.
