Bishop's Eye window

Stained glass window
Cathedral, Lincoln

Lincoln Cathedral features two major rose windows, which are a highly uncommon feature among medieval architecture in England. On the north side of the cathedral there is the "Dean's Eye" which survives from the original structure of the building and on the south side there is the "Bishop's Eye" which was most likely rebuilt c. 1325. This south window is one of the largest examples of curvilinear tracery seen in medieval architecture. (Curvilinear tracery is a form of tracery where the patterns are continuous curves.)
