Item Description
A late 19th / early 20th century stained glass window bearing the coat of arms of Great Yarmouth. This crest dates back to the 14th century, detailing a shield with half lions to one side and half fish to the other.
This unusual design derives from the first conflict in the Hundred Years’ War – the naval Battle of Sluys in June 1340 – in which English King Edward III laid claim to the French throne. Following victory, Edward hailed the support of Yarmouth’s ships and men and marked their contribution by merging his own royal coat of arms – bearing three lions – with Great Yarmouth’s three silver herring crest to create the coat of arms still used by the town to this day.
Dating from the cusp of the 20th century, this antique stained glass window celebrates this historic armorial, centring the coat of arms within an ornate foliate border.
