*Weever tells us, that "In the Middest, of the East Window in the South Chappel, is the Picture of the foresaid Bishop Goldwell, kneeling, and, in every Quarry, a golden Well, or Fountaine (his Rebus, or Name Device) and cross the Window inscribed: … Jacobo Goldwell Episcopo Norwicen. qui …./Opus fundavit. An. Christi MCCCCLXXVII (1477) – whereby it appears that this Bishop was founder of this Chapel and repairer of the church "Magistro Jacobo Goldwell …../Ecclesie Sancti Pauli London ,,,,,/qui hoc Opus repara..".

 

James Goldwell (died 15 February 1499) was a medieval Dean of Salisbury and Bishop of Norwich.

en.wikisource.org/wiki/Goldwell,_James_(DNB00)

Goldwell was nominated on 17 July 1472 and consecrated on 4 October 1472. He died on 15 February 1499.

His brother Nicholas d1505 Dean of the College of St Mary in the Fields, asked in his will for his house and lands in Barnham Broom, Norfolk, to be sold and the proceeds used for the ‘wele’ of the soul of his brother. It would seem very probable that his executors decided to use some of the money to provide a memorial window here and elsewhere such as the chancel east window in St Andrews church Norwich of which fragments remain www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/B7z3Q7https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fogge-24
