Resting Place Window of St Margaret’s Story Unfolds
The east window of St Margaret's Westminster wandered for over two centuries and sparked a seven year lawsuit. Henry VII died before its arrival from Dordrecht and ownership passed from Waltham Abbey to General Monk. Buried during Puritan days, it surfaced after the Restoration, was bought for fifty guineas by a private house, later reacquired for 400 guineas by the restoration committee, and installed in the church. The registrar’s suit claimed superstitious images, but after protracted wrangling the wardens won and the window remains undisturbed.
