East Window Stained Glass.

This beautiful stained glass window is in the Chapel of Christ's College, Cambridge, which was re-founded in 1505 from it's previous site ( where King's College now stands) by Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry 7th. The East Window shows Christ above a view of the College, and was commissioned in 1912 as a memorial to John Peile, 26th Master of the College. The window depicts key historical figures. On the left, Lady Margaret Beaufort and Bishop John Fisher, her confessor and adviser, and on the right, King Henry 6th.
