• Resumen

  • During the Reformation, stained glass in churches in the city of Norwich, England, suffered varying fates. The cathedral and Dominican friary survived the Dissolution, with glass at the former mostly destroyed by the 17th century and still seen at the latter in the late 16th century. Parish churches were badly hit by the 1547 injunctions. However, the fact that about half of Norwich's churches retain medieval glass today shows the often ineffective nature of Protestant legislation. Following the Reformation, glass painting in the city focused on heraldry and moralizing texts, and was often displayed in domestic contexts.
