Image description: 
The series of hagiographical windows in the nave, choir and ambulatory may have been financed by a less exalted class of donors, many of them guilds, or they may depict the trades as a strategy of clerical control. They depict carpenters, wheelwrights, farriers, butchers, apothecaries.
