Arms of Archbishops of York (1514-1995) 

In May 2004 many members and guests had the pleasure of visiting Bishopthorpe Palace, home to the Archbishops of York. Of particular interest was the series of Archbishops’ arms in stained glass, of which the latest seven were created with encouragement from the Society. The arms of the archbishops from 1514 to 1995 are presented here in sets of eight. In general the arms shown agree with the stained glass depictions rather than other sources.
