ABSTRACT
The parish church of Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen in West Norfolk was built mainly c. 1420–30. The church of St Mary Magdalen at Wiggenhall lies on the west bank of the river Ouse about six miles upstream from King's Lynn. In the east window of the chancel was a figure of St Mary Magdalen, to whom the church is dedicated, and the arms of England and France quarterly, Warren and Albany. The figure of St Edmund in the glass could be explained by its status as Sir Edmund's name saint, whose life unquestionably coincides with the period when the glass was made. The some north-facing windows of the north aisle contain in their tracery lights substantial remains of a remarkable series of mainly ecclesiastical saints, together with a few figures moved from other windows. The list of the glass begins with the westernmost north aisle window, using the Corpus Vitrearum numbering system.
