The heraldry of the donors depicted in stained glass along the base of the St William window is reassessed, and a date of c. 1415 suggested for the glazing instead of the hitherto accepted date of c. 1421–3. A problem in the heraldry is discussed, and two possible solutions are proposed. The one preferred here involves merely a change in plan during the actual period of glazing; the alternative is linked with a theory that the transeptal bays were altered at a later date and the glazing redistributed. The architectural evidence for this is unsatisfactory and the glazing of the transepts does not support it
