Mucklestone - St Mary - W window - detail showing Margaret of Anjou 2015-06-22

The church, with the exception of the W tower, was rebuilt in 1883 and equipped throughout with stained glass by C. E. Kempe, dating from c.1890 to 1905, mostly at the expense of the Chetwode family of nearby Oakley Park. This window commemorates the nearby battle of Blore Heath; what the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography calls an "unreliable tradition" claims that Queen Margaret observed the battle from Mucklestone church tower.
