This stained glass design from a window in St Martin-cum-Gregory is used as the symbol for the Stained Glass Centre now situated inside the church. Further information here if you are tempted to visit. Be sure to check opening times though as it is only open occasionally.
Inside St Martin-cum-Gregory on Micklegate is this striking wooden triptych reredos with IHS top and centre. IHS is a common Christogram based on the first three letters of "Jesus" in Greek. The Commandment board underneath is flanked by The Lord's Prayer on one side and The Creed on the other. The1636 panelled hexagonal
pulpit has a painted inscription reading 'Preach the Word in season and out of season'. This was a veiled reference to which side of the religious divide the congregation should stand during the reign of Charles I. Many subjects felt Charles had brought the Church of England too close to the Roman Catholic Church.
