Tudeley is a small village near Tonbridge Kent in South East England.

Detail of a small gateway dated 1583, inscribed TF and MF for Thomas and Mary Fane, that was at Badsell until the 1920s, and is now at Fulbeck.

It is the location of 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 in a boating accident in 1963. The other windows[4] were added later, the final ones being installed in 1985, the year of Chagall's death.



Every year, All Saints' Tudeley receives thousands of visitors from all over the world. It is also the venue of The Tudeley Festival,[5] an Early Music event which has been running since 1985.

Somerhill House, which houses The Schools at Somerhill, lies within the bounds of Tudeley.
