Professor Sarah Brown and Professor Christopher Norton's new book on the St William Window of York Minster has just been published, on the occasion of the 800th Anniversary of the Canonisation of St William of York.
Wednesday 18th March was the 800th anniversary of the canonisation of St William of York by Pope Honorius III. A commemorative Evensong in York Minster was followed by the launch of a new book by Professor Christopher Norton and Professor Sarah Brown, ‘The St William Window at York Minster - Rediscovering a Miraculous Narrative’. The book is the fruit of thirty years’ work on this remarkable medieval stained glass window! The launch was in the presence of the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell and the Roman Catholic Bishop of Leeds, Marcus Stock. Many congratulations to Sarah and Christopher!
Copies of the book are available to purchase from the York Minster bookshop.
