Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon - Coughton, Warwickshire

Set within the tracery lights of the great east window at St Peter’s, Coughton, these panels form part of a distinguished group of Tudor heraldic glass. At the centre are the royal arms of Henry VIII, impaled with those of Catherine of Aragon, enclosed by the initials H and K and surrounded by the Tudor emblems of the rose, portcullis, and crown. The inclusion of Catherine’s arms confirms that the glass was installed before the annulment of their marriage in 1533, most likely during the first decade of Henry’s reign.

Scenes from the life of St. Peter - Saint-Étienne de Beauvais

This window in Saint-Étienne de Beauvais, is dated 1548 and i9s signed by Nicolas le Prince. It contains three scenes from the life of St Peter, and the conversion of St Paul on the Road to Damascus.

The Life of St Agnes - Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen, Rouen

This window (c1550) presents a sequence from the Life and Martyrdom of St Agnes, the young Roman virgin celebrated for her steadfast refusal to accept a pagan suitor and her unwavering confession of faith. Produced by a Rouen workshop in the early sixteenth century, the window follows the typical Saint-Ouen format: narrative scenes set beneath tall Gothic canopies, framed by alternating architectural and landscape elements.

Unidentified Saint Composite Window - Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen, Rouen

Composite Window

This window (c1550) is a composite assemblage combining fragments of sixteenth-century narrative glass with nineteenth-century architectural framing and extensive twentieth-century restoration. The programme appears to have depicted episodes from the life of an unidentified saint. According to Jean Lafond, one of the surviving scenes may represent the translation of relics, suggesting a cycle related either to Saint Ouen or Saint Leufroy. The identification, however, remains uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the surviving iconography.

The Life of St Vincent - Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen, Rouen

This window (c1550) illustrates episodes from the martyrdom of St Vincent of Saragossa, one of the most widely venerated deacons of the early Church. Created by a Rouen atelier in the early sixteenth century, the glass adopts the familiar layout of the Saint-Ouen narrative series: scenes arranged beneath richly architectural Gothic canopies, each panel presenting a distinct moment from the saint’s Passion.
