ABSTRACT
Warwick, or major collegiate foundations like Tattershall' Lincolnshire, and the mausoleum of the House of York at Fotheringhay in Northamptonshire.
The middle years of the century witnessed in many areas a further shift away from the International Gothic style; with it went not only the homogeneity of the early part of the century, but also much of the subtlety and elegance that for so long had characterized the work of English glass-painters. A parallel change can be observed in English manuscript illumination, notably in the work of William Abell, active between the 1440S and 1460s.8 His early works retain many of the characteristics of International Gothic with soft flOWing draperies and delicately
Bothe (d. 1478); the glazing probably dates from c. 1470. The date 1485 is in the Ashton glass. Other panels are more linear and harder in style, notably the Christ from the Seven Sacraments window (nIl) at Cadbury, also in Devon. Cadbury seems to be the work of a different hand to Exeter and a third craftsman appears to have been responsible for the Seven Sacraments window at Crudwell, Wiltshire (nV).
