Tudeley is a village in western Kent, England.

The village is home to three churches, including 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 afed 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.

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

The Tudeley Festival is an Early Music event which has been running since 1985.[5]
