Tracery Arcade from the Great South Window of Canterbury Cathedral ca. 1426–1435 Design perhaps by Master Mason Stephen Lote These fragments once outlined a panel of stained glass in the "Great South Window" of the south transept of Canterbury Cathedral. Consistent with medieval practice, the two sides of the arch were carved in distinct though complementary ways. The side facing the interior of the church consists of three undulating courses of molding. The exterior, which exhibits the stress and repairs expected from centuries of exposure to the elements, displays a simpler faceted molding.

The exterior, which exhibits the stress and repairs expected from centuries of exposure to the elements, displays a simpler faceted molding. Various marks related to construction appear on the ends of stone that are now exposed. These range from simple incisions to a mason’s mark in the shape of a Tracery Arcade from the Great South Window of Canterbury Cathedral. Design perhaps by Master Mason Stephen Lote (d. 1417) and/or. British. ca. 1426–1435. Caen stone. Made in Canterbury, England. Sculpture-Architectural-Stone
