King’s College Chapel in Cambridge has 26 large stained-glass windows lining its walls. They form one of the most important surviving ensembles of Renaissance stained glass in England.
The windows were installed during the 16th century, after the chapel’s construction had begun under Henry VI. Their imagery includes biblical scenes, saints, kings, and symbolic decoration. The windows work with the chapel’s enormous fan vault and painted interior to create a highly unified Tudor space.
The number 26 refers to the large side windows, not every individual pane or smaller opening in the building. That distinction matters because a single large window contains many separately leaded pieces of glass.
