=== All Saints Church, Tudeley, UK (1963β1978) === [[File:All_Saints_Tudeley_East_Window_8.jpg|thumb|Window 8, the East or Memorial Window for Sarah d'Avigdor Goldsmid, drowned aged 21, was the first window that Chagall made for [[All Saints Church, Tudeley]]. He went on to decorate all the other windows.<ref name=Tudeley/> ]] [[All Saints Church, Tudeley]], is the only church in the world to have all its twelve windows decorated by Chagall.<ref name=Tudeley>{{cite web |title=All Saints' Church, Tudeley |url=http://www.tudeley.org/allsaintstudeley.htm |access-date=18 December 2009 |archive-date=7 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091207044234/http://www.tudeley.org/allsaintstudeley.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> The other three religious buildings with complete sets of Chagall windows are the [[Hadassah Medical Center]] synagogue, the Chapel of Le Saillant, Limousin, and the [[Union Church of Pocantico Hills]], New York.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Union Church of Pocantico Hills|url=https://hudsonvalley.org/historic-sites/union-church-of-pocantico-hills/|access-date=20 January 2021|website=Historic Hudson Valley|language=en-US}}</ref> The windows at [[Tudeley]] were commissioned by [[Henry d'Avigdor-Goldsmid|Sir Henry and Lady Rosemary d'Avigdor-Goldsmid]] as a memorial tribute to their daughter Sarah, who died in 1963 aged 21 in a sailing accident off [[Rye, East Sussex|Rye]]. When Chagall arrived for the dedication of the east window in 1967, and saw the church for the first time, he exclaimed "{{lang|fr|C'est magnifique! Je les ferai tous!}}" ("It's beautiful! I will do them all!") Over the next ten years Chagall designed the remaining eleven windows, made again in collaboration with the glassworker Charles Marq in his workshop at Reims in northern France. The last windows were installed in 1985, just before Chagall's death.
