I understand that the Virginia Sheltons are no longer considered to have been descendants of the Norfolk
England Shelton family. Perhaps the descendants of the Norfolk England family will appreciate these photos taken by an acquaintance photographer, Mr. Gordon Plumb. Yes, these are copyrighted.
The lovely brick church of St Mary's, at Shelton, Norfolk, ENG was
started before 1497, when Sir Ralph Shelton ordered in his will that it should be finished. Much of the original glazing survives
and seems to have been carried out swiftly, because a will of 1504 leaves money for glass. But it has been re-arranged and
earlier and later glass has been added. The glass in these windows are examples of early 16th century glass
painting done in England by, or under the influence of, North European glass painters.
