Tudeley is a village in the civil parish of Capel, in the Tunbridge Wells borough of Kent, England.
The village is home to All Saints' Church,[1] the only church in the world[2] that has all its windows in stained glass designed by Marc Chagall.[3] The East window was commissioned by Sir Henry and Lady D'Avigdor-Goldsmid in memory of their daughter Sarah, who died aged 21 in a boating accident in 1963. The other windows were added later,[4] the final ones being installed in 1985, the year of Chagall's death. Today the church also hosts the Tudeley Festival, an Early Music event which has been running since 1985.[5]
In 1881 the civil parish had a population of 549.[6] On 25 March 1885 the parish was abolished and merged with Capel.[7]
Somerhill House, which houses The Schools at Somerhill, lies within the bounds of Tudeley.
