Stained Glass of St Andrew's Church, Norwich
Constructed in 1506 St Andrew, is the second largest medieval parish church in the city. It is a fine example of a late Perpendicular hall church with a tie beam timber roof.
Not long after the building work had finished, the Reformation occurred, sending the whole of Europe into religious turmoil. St Andrew’s became a preaching house for the new ‘Protestant’ religion. The church later had links to John Robinson, a freelance clergyman who became pastor to the Pilgrim Fathers before their emigration to the New World.
St Andrew’s was a wealthy parish; this is reflected in both its fittings and its monuments. In fact the church has one of the finest collections of memorials in the City. Here are represented Mayors and Aldermen, a sea captain and a variety of business leaders. Of particular note is the Suckling tomb.
The church contains a selection of stained glass including fine medieval & Victorian windows. Its piece de resistance however, is 16th century allegorical representation of the “Dance of Death.” Which is the only surviving example represented in glass.
