Norfolk's churches are home to some of the highest-quality and
best-preserved medieval stained glass in Britain. Panels produced in the
county's extensive and long-lasting workshops, centred in the historically
important city of Norwich, can be found in some 270 buildings, including
churches, museums and country houses. Moreover, recent research has revealed
for the first time the original location of many of the panels now dispersed
around the county.
In Stories in Glass, Paul Harley and David King reveal these
treasures to a new audience. Harley's exquisite photographs are set alongside
historical and artistic explanations that illuminate the social, economic and
religious background to the windows we see today. With 200 colour images, and
maps showing the locations of the windows discussed, this beautifully
illustrated guide will appeal to the explorer and collector alike.
