Depictions of Becket (pictured) in the glass were later vandalised Experts analysing the glass under a microscope now believe the panels and scenes within the stained glass window were ‘bunged together’ in the wrong order when they were restored in the 1660s. The pieces being reassembled in the correct order involve a description of a man known as Ralph the Leper being cured below an image of another, Eilward of Westoning, being castrated and blinded as punishment for theft. When Eilward drank Becket’s blood after his death he is said to have regained his sight and organs. Experts could find no evidence of leprosy in that panel, but when they discovered sores painted on a man in the glass of another, Leonie Seliger, director of stained-glass conservation at the cathedral, said she scared colleagues by shouting: ‘Yes! We have leprosy!’
