| Description |
The west window of the Minster was installed in 1927 and was given by Colonel Thomas J Seppings who died in 1925. The glass was designed by Donald Taunton of John Hardman & Co. The stonework dates from the 15th century, the original glass was lost when the nave was destroyed by the spire of the south west tower falling in 1741. After this, the window was blocked and not re-opened until the mid-1860s. The organ was originally on a gallery in front of the west window. The subject of the window is a mixture of associated Saints and Kings with several Guilds and Bishops in the traceries. There are seven lights with upper and lower panels. The central light depicts Christ in Glory surrounded by Angels and Saints relating to the churches of King's Lynn. The left-hand light contains St Edmund and St Nicolas with King John granting the town its Charter at the bottom. The next light depicts St John the Evangelist, and King John presenting his sword to the Mayor in the panel below. On the right-hand side of the window we see the Virgin Mary, St George, St Margaret and finally Henry VIII and Cardinal Wolsey. The traceries contain Coats of Arms relating to the church and town including the Guild of Corpus Christi, the Trinity Guild, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, the three lions of England, the arms of Henry VIII, and those of the Benedictine and Franciscan religious orders, whose buildings still remain in Kings Lynn. |
