The Yorkshire Light is a traditional window. It is also known as Yorkshire sliding sash or horizontal sliding window. These windows date back to at least the 17th century and are thought to be one of the oldest types of sash windows.

A Yorkshire Light is a mullioned window with two lights. One light is fixed and the other slides from side to side in horizontal grooves.
