History home - The stained glass windows - The roundels and small windows
The roundels and small windows around St Mary Magdalene originated from St. James Pockthorpe. When the windows there were re-glazed in the middle of the 20th century, older glass was incorporated from the collection of the Norwich glazier Dennis King. Several of the roundels - including one that depicts the parable of the rich man and Lazarus - are 16th-century Flemish glass.
According to the page about St Mary Magdalene on the website Norfolk Stained Glass, the windows were removed from St James and then stored until at least 1977, before being installed at St Mary Magdalene. The work may have been done by G. King & Son, a local glazing firm.
The windows are all illustrated below. They depict: (i) Dives and Lazarus; (ii) an unidentified biblical scene; (iii) St James the Great; (iv) St Barbara; (v) St Lucy; (vi) - (ix) four scenes from the Passion; (x); St Mary Magdalene; (xi) St John; (xii) an unknown saint; (xiii) St Andrew; (xiv) St James the Great.
