The screen is decorated with statues of the fifteen kings of England from William I to Henry VI. All the figures are the originals from the 15th century except that end one on the right of Henry VI, which is a 19th century replacement. Above all the kings, angels play medieval instruments to the glory of God and father who sits over the arch. York Minster 28

The outer petals of the Rose Window are red and white roses (the houses of York and Lancaster) and the work of 16th century Flemish glass-painters. The glass in the centre dates from the 18th century and is in the form of a sunflower from which golden rays radiate from a circle of blue tinted glass. York Minster 31
