On the 7th of March, 1391-2, the Dean and Chapter concluded an agreement with Robert Lyen,glasyer, and citizen of Exeter , (who on the preceding 28th of April had been sworn into the officeof glasyer to this cathedral, with a salary of 2 6s. 8 d. per annum,) to glaze the great window newlymade at the head of the church : it was covenanted that for every foot of new glass he should bepaid 20 d., and for fitting the old glass, 3s. 4 d. per week, besides 2 s. for his assistant. * This con-tract relates to the present east window; the window newly made, to the existing Perpendicularstone-work of it; and the old glass to the present beautiful Decorated glass (which had beenremoved from the former window of its own character) now therein inserted.
