The travelling Stained Glass Exhibition


The beauty and complexity of medieval stained glass is the subject of Hungate Medieval Art’s exhibition.

Curated by Claire Daunton (University of East Anglia and Trinity Hall Cambridge) with photographs by Mike Dixon,this exhibition can be viewed in 2012 at St. Nicholas church, North Walsham. 

The exhibition reflects the distinctive Norwich school of medieval glass whilst looking at the development of stained glass over the period and the people and processes involved in its production.

On display are beautiful, back lit, photographic images of Norfolk glass. Seen up close and at eye level, the detail and craftsmanship of the work are apparent and the political subtext of certain panels can be more easily appreciated.
