The ?th window on the south side of the cathedral nave was glazed in its present form in about 1950, and contains the coats of arms of the ten places (other than Exeter) which were designated as boroughs at that time. Unusually for arms in the cathedral, these include full achievements, i.e. with crests, supporters and mottoes, rather than only shields.

Table of arms

The arms are listed in order left to right, bottom row first.
