Henry Tudor and Elizabeth of York - Stanford on Avon
This remarkable window (1490-1505), rediscovered packed away in 1932, forms the lower section of the great east window at Stanford-on-Avon.

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.
