His murder in 1170 – whether on the orders of the king remains a bone of historical contention – sent shockwaves through England and beyond; his spilt blood was reported to have miraculous powers of healing, and before long he had been canonised by Pope Alexander III.

The recipient was Rachel Koopmans, a medieval historian at York University in Toronto, with whom Seliger is studying the windows’ graphic motifs. Together they are finally identifying the original narrative order of the stained glass, unravelling stories fr ....
