Acquisition of 16th Century Stained Glass Roundels

Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery acquired a unique set of late-medieval stained glass round windows which take as their theme the working lives – and leisure times – experienced by our early sixteenth-century forebears. The set of roundels represent half of a surviving set of eight, from an original twelve, depicting the Labours of the Months. They were acquired with support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF); the Art Fund; the Pilgrim Trust; the Friends of Norwich Museums; the Ruddock Foundation for the Arts; and the Paul Bassham Charitable Trust.
