The great hall has eight stained glass windows, four either side, like this one. They were installed in Victorian times. They each have 12 coats of arms representing significant Kings, Bishops, Lords and Barons with links to Winchester. Starting with the Saxon Kings on the south side, they each represent about a century of history and finish with Charles 2nd on the north side. This is the Tudor window, the sixth in the series.
