St Mary, Mildenhall, Suffolk: the east window

NOTES: The oldest parts of the church date from c. 1240-1300 which are the north chapel, east end and chancel, notably the east window (c. 1300). The rest of the church was built 1441-1478, including the tower, which was restored in 1864. A general restoration was was carried out in 1849, including the interior and re-roofing of the chancel by Thomas Farrow. In 1875-1876 the south porch was rebuilt as part of the restoration of the south aisle, possibly by J. D. Wyatt. The east window seen here, prefigures the window of Prior Crauden's chapel at Ely Cathedral, with its unusual and elaborate tracery.
