The Worshipful Company of Glaziers

It's always fun to be looking through a set of photographs and find a coat of arms that one recognizes from somewhere else, an "old friend" as it were.

I was going through the last of the pictures that my late wife Jo took of heraldry for me, and ran across this window in York Minster.

It is, of course, as you can easily determine both from the heraldry (Argent, two grozing irons in saltire between four closing nails sable on a chief gules a lion passant guardant or, with the crest A lion's head couped or between a pair of wings azure,  and motto: Lucem tuam da nobis Deus (God, give us Your light) as well as from the legend at the bottom noting that the window was replaced following World War II, that what we have here is the achievement of arms of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers.

But we have also seen these arms, though in a different depiction, in another cathedral, Ely Cathedral, about which I posted on July 3, 2023 (http://blog.appletonstudios.com/2023/07/armorial-stained-glass-in-ely-cathedral.html).

What fun to see this "old friend" appearing in a different cathedral in a different county!
