East Window, Christ's College Chapel, Cambridge

East window by Burlison & Grylls, c1910.

Christ's College was originally founded in 1437 as 'God's House' by William Byngham, but following a major endowment in 1505 by Lady Margaret Beaufort (mother of Henry VII) it was given its current title and expanded. Several parts of the college still remain from the early Tudor period, including the entrance gate from the street and the chapel in the first quadrangle.

The main gatehouse is an impressive sight with Lady Margaret's image at the centre and two Yales of Beaufort over the arch. On my first visit in 2018 the carved details were refreshed but left in their natural stone colour, but when I returned less than a year later they had been fully recoloured (along with other carved details around the college).

The chapel is not an ostentatious building, more of a hall with Gothic windows but it does contain several noteworthy features including some panels of early 16th century glass, a fine medieval lectern and a handsome Baroque monument by the altar. The more recent east window depicts the figure of Christ standing above the college complex, with historical figures connected with the college shown kneeling below.
