From last year's travels in Tuscany one #StainedGlassSunday example stands out hugely:
the C13 rose window of Siena Duomo by Duccio di Buoninsegna.

Created 1288, moved to Museum of Duomo in 1996 to restore. 6m dia piece can now be seen at close range in its colourful magnificence. /1
More: ALT +/2

Roun, brilliantly coloured stained glass window w 9 scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, and other saints. 
Five of these scenes form a cross, while the other four occupy the ~quarter round sections in the corners of the cross. On the vertical arm is the story of the Virgin with the Coronation, the Assumption and the Burial. On the horizontal arm, from the left, are the patron saints Bartholomew, Ansano, Crescenzio and Savino. In the corner compartments are the four Evangelists with their names and symbols: in the top left St John and in the top right St Matthew; below are St Luke and St Mark.
The colours Duccio used are like those used in his painting, in particular in his works for the altarpiece, which was later dismantled in the 18th C, with some finding their way to other collections and countries. Many are now in the Duomo museum however, and several have been touring major museums, eg in London and NY.
The colours Duccio used in the window are those that feature in his paintings: ruby red, purple, sky blue, yellow, emerald green. 
In the post linked to this is a view of the window in situ in the museum, where it's displayed with some of the sculptures removed from the Duomo, giving a sense of scale and drama.
It is seen as a key component in the development of international gothic.

Sint Walburga’s Church in Veurne, Belgium. A worthy (and quick) detour from the A18, less than an hour north-east of Calais. Plenty of good eateries in the Grote Markt too. #StainedGlassSunday

A large stained glass window showing a town scene in the centre, with saints lined up below. The architecture is of red brick.

Coat of arms on window, main staircase at Knole NT, a multi-roomed medieval mansion in Kent, much of which is still occupied by the Sackville-West family. The house has recently featured in TV's The Other Boleyn Girl.

The Sackville coat of arms in a leaded window on a half landing beyond a wooden rail and post carrying a depiction of the leopard that has been the family's symbol and part of the coat of arms since the early 17th Century when Thomas Sackville, the First Earl of Dorset, moved into the house near Sevenoaks, Kent, around 20 miles South of London.

Tom Denny's glorious windows at Tewkesbury Abbey were installed in 2002 and commemorate the anniversary of the Benedictines arrival 900 years previously.
Entitled Work and Prayer they reflect the Benedictines motto 'To work is to pray'.
