Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The museum has a varied collection of mainly foreign glass from the Netherlands, Germany and France, mostly dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. A staircase window has an almost complete arrangement of roundels and other pieces with an early nineteenth century setting. Other glass is now in the kitchen and first-floor gallery. Graffiti on one window with the name J. Palmer and the date May 1814 suggest that some and probably all the original glass was installed at this time. The glass not on the staircase was moved from other windows after c. 1950 and then rearranged and added to in the early 1970s. The only glass from a known location comes from the monastery of Steinfeld in Germany. A few other fragments may be from the neighbouring monastery of Mariawald. Nearly all the complete panels are Dutch glass of seventeenth-century date. The article is based on long-term research for the CVMA Summary Catalogue for Norfolk. |
