It must have been impressive. I am not as familiar with Mathew's description as you, so I am not sure without checking. Yes, I would have loved to see the carved tree. It must have been impressive.

I wish we could've seen the whole carving in its day, right? What I especially love about this particular Jesse Tree window is the depiction of all the women on it, too, which you don't often see. If you do, it's usually just Ruth and Mary. If I'm not mistaken, there are more on here, which Matthew described as also being Tamar, Rahab, and Bathsheba?

We didn't have time to visit the castle as we were on our way home from Gloucester. I saw Ginnies post and mentioned that we had recently visited.
