Stained Glass
The stained glass windows in the chancel of Tewkesbury Abbey are all from between 1338 and 1340. They were most probably a gift to the Abbey by Eleanor Despenser (nee de Clare) the wife of Hugh Despenser the Younger. Eleanor is thought to be the person depicted in the panel here.
The Sacred Heart Chapel in Beauvais Cathedral contains this stained glass window by Engrand le Prince. It was commissioned in 1522 by Louis de Roncherolles chamberlain and councillor to Francis I of France.
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.

Clayton & Bell
Submitted by walwyn
The company was found in 1855 by John Clayton (1827-1913) and Alfred Bell (1832-95) and continued making stained glass until 1993.
Clayton and Bell’s designs were initially manufactured by Heaton and Butler, with whom they shared a studio between 1859 and 1862. Robert Turnill Bayne, a Pre-Raphaelite artist, was originally employed as a designer with Clayton and Bell. Then in 1862, Baynes joined the firm of Heaton, and Butler, and Clayton and Bell began to manufacturer their own glass.
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.
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.
