Stained Glass of St Walstan church Bawburgh

There is no zoomify for this window

Remnants of 15th century glass remain in the tracery lights.  It was produced in the latter years of the Wighton workshop of 1460 – 1480.

The window contains fragments of 14th and 15th century glass.

The censing angels in the tracery constitute the oldest glass in the church and possible date from 1309 (when the chancel was rebuilt). They are pictured in a style redolent of early 14th century manuscript painting.

The remainder of the glass is believed to date from the 15th century as follows:

• The four roundels which bear the text of Nunc Dimittis, were produced in the latter years of the Wighton workshop of 1460 – 1480
•  The shield is made up of two broken coats of arms. It was produced post 1475.The right hand shield was born by John Delapole (1442 – 91), the 2nd Duke of Norfolk
• The heads of God the Father and the Virgin Mary would originally have been part of a scene depicting the Coronation on the Virgin Mary.
• The central fragmentary panel bears the name St Gregory, which may relate to the figure also depicted, who wears a doctor’s cap. The existence of the name and the figure seems to indicate that at some time the Doctors of the Church would have all featured in the glazing.

The tracery contains figures of St Barbara and the upper part of St Gabriel. The former holds her emblematic tower and palm whilst the latter would probably have originally featured in an Annunciation scene. Both were produced by the Wighton workshop (1460–80). These two figures are similar in style to the glass in East Harling

Fragments of glass dating from the latter part of the 15th century are displayed here.These include a partial figure of the Virgin Mary and a female saint who is possibly St Catherine.
