Description
English:
detail, arms of Shelton impaling Boleyn
St Mary's Church, Shelton, Norfolk, east window detail, showing the arms of Shelton of Shelton Hall, impaling Boleyn (ancient). Representing the marriage of Anne Boleyn (c.1483-1555) (an aunt of Queen Anne Boleyn) to Sir John Shelton of Shelton Hall, whose kneeling figures appear above. See thefreelancehistorywriter.com[1] . St Mary's church > 1402294 - 1402300 is situated set back from a rural lane with the Old Rectory adjoining in the north. It is famed for its architecture, with its clerestory and high arcades > 1402307 and no discernible dividing feature between nave and chancel. The church as we see it today was built by Sir Ralph Shelton, High Sherriff of Norfolk in the mid-15th century. In the north-eastern corner there are several chest tombs > 1402310 to Shelton family members, the south-eastern corner is occupied by a tomb to Sir Robert Houghton > 1029370. The probably most noteworthy feature of the church are its stained glass windows, the east window > 1402317 and several of the aisle windows > 1402314 containing medieval glass.
