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.
