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. Â
