^{page 27 note 6} The ordinances show that, to a very large extent, they were drawn up by the civic authorities and imposed upon the craft. We cannot imagine any association of employers and capitalists throwing their workshops open to inspection by others in the same trade who were probably their competitors in business; or voluntarily offering to fine themselves or each other, half of the fine to go to the city, or making a rule that the mayor and city council could at any time alter the ordinances of the craft in any way ‘by thare discrecions’, without the slightest mention being made of consulting the feelings of the members of the craft on the matter!

Poreser near St. Jacques de la Boucherie, Nicolas le Lorraine, Hugues Auzolle of Gourdon in Quercy, and three others whose names are unknown. The upper windows of the quire were carried out by Francois Vierges of Auch, and Pierre Autipout of Gimont, in 1620. Autipout was a nephew of Arnaud de Moles who painted the windows of the quire. The eighteen upper windows, and the three roses of the nave and transepts, were carried out in 1641 by Pierre Autipout, now described as living in the city of Auch. The lower windows of the nave were done by Joseph Darnes of Toulouse in 1647 (M. de la Carsalade du Pont, Let Verrieres des nefs de la cathedrale d'Auch, Revue de Gascogne, 1897, p. 387, and L'Abbé Caneto, Sainte Marie d'Auch, roy. fol. 185:7). At the time the Abbé Caneto wrote, the three contracts were not available, but M. de Carsalade du Pont entirely missed the real significance of them. He attributes the change from the coloured windows of the quire to the quarry windows in the nave, to the changed conditions in religion and the introduction of prayer books, which could not be used in a dim religious light! It is certain that large quantities of early glass were removed, as for example in the transepts at York, in the fifteenth century as the fashion for rich and solemn colours changed to that for more light. Thus in 1510 the parishioners of Burton Pidse complained to the Bishop that a window ‘in ye north parte of ye qwher is so dyme yt no mane may see on yt sied yt syng in ye qwher’ (Tork Minster Fabric Rolls, Surtees Soc, p. 265).Google Scholar John Bruce, parson of Stapleford in the sixteenth century, had all the windows of his chapel and of the church of Tarvin taken out because they ‘obscured the brightness of the Gospel’ (Ormerod's, Cheshire, i, 174)Google Scholar , and Prisdon, speaking of the church of Ottery St. Mary, said: ‘The windows little and low are so bedecked with the arms of divers benefactors, that instead of Lux Fiat it may be verified that they are umbrated thereby’ (Trans. Exeter Archaeol. Soc, i, p. 40). But the demand for more light was certainly not the reason why, at Auch, the scheme for a series of windows representing the mysteries of the Blessed Virgin was abandoned and plain quarry work inserted instead.

^{page 33 note 3} Similarly in 1351-2 coloured glass was bought ‘at Temestrete’, i.e. at the Steelyard (the warehouse of the Hanse Merchants in Thames Street) for the windows of St. George's Chapel, Windsor. But it was not made there, but had been manufactured hundreds of miles away.
