Bradford Cathedral, on Stott Hill, Bradford, West Yorkshire, was a 15th-century church of which the west tower and north aisle, and much of the nave and original chancel remain. The south aisle, its clerestory and porch were remodelled in the 19th century, when the transepts were added. Sir Edward Maufe extended it to the east and to the north of the west tower.
The William Morris Window originally was inserted in the south wall at the eastern end of what is now the South Ambulatory, but was then part of the old Chancel. The original South Chancel window, from 1864, has been re-sited in three locations: the west walls of the transepts, and the illuminated window in the North Ambulatory. This was originally a perpendicular window of five cinquefoil-headed lights beneath three tiers of tracery.
The picture shows part of the William Morris Window in the North Ambulatory. The central figure, Salvatore Mundi, is by architect Albert Moore. The angels, some playing harps and dulcimers, others holding palms, wreaths and chaplets, were originally fitted into the tracery at the top of the old window, and were designed by William Morris.
