Stained glass panel (1338-1340) depicting Hugh Despenser the Younger who was married to Eleanor the sister of Gilbert de Clare. Hugh Despenser became the favourite of Edward II but was especially disliked by Queen Isabella, and executed when Edward II was deposed in 1326.
After the execution of Hugh Despenser his remains were gathered together and buried here in Tewkesbury. The tomb once contained over 40 statues, all of which have now gone. The current tomb in the alcove is that of Abbot John Cotes (d1337) which was moved into this location in the 17th century.
This tomb of Hugh and Elizabeth, in the chancel of Tewkesbury Abbey, is of alabaster and the effigies are portraits of them both. The canopy once contained 26 statutes and was considered one of the finest in England.
