Several sources indicate that the overall design windows can probably be credited to Richard Fox, Bishop of Durham, later of Winchester. The panes were once known as an example of Netherlandish-style glass painting, however they are now attributed to the Flemish glazier Barnard Flower (d.1517), glazier to King Henry VII (1485–1509), and according to some sources, also to John Thornton of Coventry and Galyon Hone. The glass was made between 15 under the instructions of his son, Edward Tame.
They were added after the church had been rebuilt by the wealthy wool merchant John Tame (c.1430–1500). The medieval stained glass panes are of national historical and architectural importance as they constitute what is "probably the most complete set of medieval stained glass in Britain" consisting of 28 windows displaying biblical scenes. The Fairford stained glass is a set of 28 pre- Reformation stained glass windows located in St Mary's Church, Fairford, Gloucestershire. Home of the Fairford stained glass windows St Mary's Church, Fairford, Gloucestershire, built by John Tame (d.1500), consecrated in 1497.
