Commentary
St George and the dragon, one of the medieval painted glass panels in the S aisle.

9 windows were added in the 14th and 15th c. (the 2 SW windows are smaller than the rest). The 5-light W window is Decorated but the glass is Victorian. There is a large 4-light window at the W end of both aisles. Medieval painted glass remains in some windows, mostly at the E end of the N and S aisles.
