Jesse Window - Dorchester Abbey, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxon

Jesse Window - Dorchester Abbey, High Street, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.. The window on the north wall of the chancel is a Tree of Jesse, a unique form of multi-media combining tracery, sculpture and stained glass (all 14th century in date) in a single theme. The scene shows how Christ was descended from King Davids ancestor Jesse, the surprisingly natural figure apparently slumbering on the windowsill at the foot of the tree. The figure of Christ at the top was severely damaged in Cromwellian times. Date: 1934

English Cathedrals - Angl Choir -Lincoln - main Pillar (foreground) look beyond to arched space , stained glass windows back and side. Part of Box 144 Boswell Collection - English Cathedrals. The choir is currently formed of ten men (who are either lay vicars or choral scholars), a team of about 20 boys and a team of about 20 girls.The cathedral accepted female choristers in 1995. Lincoln was only the second cathedral in the country to adopt a separate girls choir (after Salisbury Cathedral) and remains one of few who provide exactly the same musical opportunities and equal weekly singing duties to both girls and boys. All the choristers are educated at Lincoln Minster School. Date: circa 1900
