St Edmundsbury Cathedral

North Aisle Stained Glass Windows

The Facts

The windows of the North aisle tell stories from the Old Testament.

The first window depicts Adam and Eve, closely followed by Noah (in a red cloak) with the ark behind him. At the far end of the North Aisle you will see Daniel in the lions’ den.

If you look carefully at window number 5 you will see God’s hand as he passes the ten commandments on tablets of stone to Moses.
