Summary
| Description |
Hereford Cathedral, England. This window appears to show the founding of Eton College (by King Henry VI), on the banks of the River Thames in the shadow of Windsor Castle. Eton College Chapel is visible. The arms of Eton College are shown three times, together with the royal arms. Seal of Eton College at left, as in arms. Text per www.geograph.org, Julian P Guffogg[1]: "Glass in the Stanbury Chapel, designed by Archibald Davies, given in 1923. The windows depict scenes from the life of John Stanbury, confessor to King Henry VI and Bishop of Hereford in 1453. He assisted the King in his plans for Eton College and this is depicted in the windows. The left hand light shows Angels around a lamp, above a book symbolising the spirit of learning. The next light shows the Bishop planning the College with Henry VI and Windsor Castle in the background. The third light shows Henry VI granting a charter to the college. He is seated on a throne with his nobles in front of him. The final lights shows Eton College, with the River Thames and the Arms and motto of the college." |
