Hungate Medieval Art

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A new exhibition centre for medieval stained glass based in the beautiful surroundings of St Peter Hungate church in the old centre of Norwich. St Peter's is a lovely 15th century parish church no longer used for regular worship. It has been transformed into a venue for displaying the superb heritage of medieval stained glass from Norfolk's historic churches.

Medieval Norfolk had a reputation as a centre for stained glass, and a distinct regional style developed in the area. More than 150 churches in Norfolk still retain medieval stained glass, and the Hungate museum showcases a number of church trails that visitors can take to explore this rich heritage.

Explore how stained glass was made, and view wonderfully illuminated examples of glass from across the county and from St Peter's own collection of 15th and 16th century stained glass.

There are hands-on activities for children, and there are regular, free family arts and crafts activity days.
