Shelton Norfolk

German stained glass altered to show heraldry relating to Sir John Shelton 1539 son of Sir Ralph Shelton who rebuilt the church, and wife Anne Boleyn, aunt of Queen Anne Boleyn 2nd wife of Henry Vlll. Glass probably supplied by John Christopher Hampp,(1750-1825) a german cloth merchant who settled in Norwich who brought back much discarded glass from the continent. Below is more Shelton heraldry - rebus with shells and tuns (barrels)

Above are small 15c figures possibly from local churches. - Church of St Mary Shelton Norfolk
