In 1764 William Peckitt was contracted by the Dean of Exeter, Jeremiah Milles, to supply glass to complete the restoration of the Cathedral’s glazing and to make a new West window, which has often been considered to be his masterpiece. Peckitt’s Great West Window is no longer extant (although portions of it have been salvaged), having been replaced in 1904 with a window, designed by Messrs Burlison and Grylls, which was itself destroyed by enemy action in 1942. After the War the glass was replaced. [To include or not? This rose is part of the Great West Window of Exeter Cathedral, but it is a major part! In fact this Cathedral has many smaller windows with a rose featured at the apex. If you would like to check this out further, see here.]
