Chartres Cathedral
Chartres Cathedral has some of the most beautiful medieval stained glass windows to have survive the upheavals of the last 800 years. The earliest date from the mid 12th century, but most are from the 13th century.

Composite Window - Stoning of St Stephen and Martyrdom of St Catherine
This window is a composite assembly combining fragments of sixteenth-century stained glass with nineteenth-century architectural structures and extensive twentieth-century restoration. The present arrangement consists of five tall lancets surmounted by a unified canopy system reconstructed in 1852, with bases and pedestals also installed at that time.
Coronation of Henry III - Gloucester Cathedral
This 1860 window by Clayton & Bell depicts the coronation of Henry III in St Peter's Abbey (later cathedral), Gloucester, on the 28th of October 1216. A second coronation was performed at Westminster Abbey on 7th May 1220, Westminster Abbey, because Pope Honorius III did not consider that the first coronation had been conducted properly.
Coronation of the Virgin
This scene depicting the Coronation of the Virgin forms part of the Magnificat Window of 1501 in the north transept of Great Malvern Priory and extends across three lights, emphasising both its theological importance and its visual prominence within the wider glazing scheme. The subject, drawn from late medieval Marian devotion, celebrates Mary’s exaltation in heaven following her Assumption, a theme closely aligned with the Magnificat’s emphasis on humility rewarded by divine grace.
Crucifixion - Holy Cross, Byfield
South transept window Holy Cross, Byfield, Northamptonshire (undated).
Crucifixion - Montresor, France
The Crucifixion window in the Church of Saint John the Baptist at Montrésor, in the Indre-et-Loire region of France, is one of the finest surviving examples of early sixteenth-century stained glass in the Loire Valley. Filling a tall Gothic lancet divided into several vertical lights, it unfolds as a vivid narrative of the Passion of Christ, rendered in rich Renaissance color and form.
Crucifixion - Whilton, Northamptonshire
Late 19th to early 20th century east window depicting the Crucifixion by Burlison & Grylls at Whilton, Northamptonshire.
