Trails leaflet series: Stained glass

Back to all products

In spite of its deep, rich colours, beautiful draftsmanship and fascinating imagery, stained glass is one of the most under-rated artistic legacies of the medieval period. A distinctive style and quality of craftsmanship has led to stained glass made by Norwich workshops being displayed in museum collections across the world but, largely unknown to visitors, medieval glass remains in over 200 of the county’s parish churches.

This series aims to draw attention to some of these medieval treasures and encourage visitors to explore the beautiful churches where these windows are to be found.

Written and produced by Hungate Medieval Art with David King at the University of East Anglia as part of the 2008 Stained Glass exhibition (leaflets published 2009). Photos with thanks to Mike Dixon and David King. Designed by The Click Design Consultants.

Set of 10 leaflets.
