29th May – 12th July
One of Hungate’s great glories is its late medieval ‘Angel Roof’, so called because of the many carved angels which ornament it. It is one of eight such roofs in the city and more than 170 in the country, of which the vast majority that survive are in Norfolk and Suffolk.
In this exhibition, Hungate Trustee Dr Sarah Cassell, who wrote her PhD in 2018 on ‘Structure and Image in Late Medieval East Anglian Angel Roofs’ at UEA, explores when, how and why these roofs were made, who made them, and for whom.
