He is buried in the Nave of the Abbey. The glass was designed by William Wailes, amended by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and unveiled in 1862. The larger medallions depict Biblical building, including Noah's Ark and Solomon's temple, and constructions by Stephenson, with smaller portrait heads of famous builders of history including Archimedes, Michaelangelo and Wren.
