Winchester Cathedral, construction of which started in 1073, is a palace of stories – almost a millennium’s worth. Among its many wonders is a chaotic, almost modern west window. The story of this massive mosaic of shattered stained glass is one of frantic whiplash, disorienting social change, and historical upheaval. It is also the story of the first time someone tried to untether this place of worship from its god.
