A substantial body of medieval stained glass survives at Great Malvern Priory, although its condition and completeness vary considerably from window to window. Several major fifteenth-century windows remain largely intact, most notably the Magnificat Window, the Founder’s Window, and the glazing of the Lady Chapel. Elsewhere, survival is more fragmentary: the great east window, though once a dominant feature of the church, now survives largely in dispersed panels and fragments rather than as a complete scheme.
