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.
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.
Once thought to be an effigial monument to William Longespee (d1250) the date of the armour places this as a 14th century monument.
