St Mary's Roman Catholic Church - Great Yarmouth.
The following info is from the Parish Web site
"The Parish of St Mary’s is one of 55 parishes that make up the Diocese of East Anglia (within the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire together with the Unitary Authority of Peterborough). Each Diocese is led by the bishop, as head of the local Church." Text Source: (visit link)


"The atmosphere inside the church is of a dignified grandeur, and one of the main reasons is the interesting range of glass, ranging from the 1850s up to the late 20th Century. A sequence of uncharacteristically good glass by Mayer & Company depicts pairs of Saints. A Geoffrey Webb window depicts scenes from the life of Christ, and a glorious Annunciation window in what appears to be the Kempe & Co style is probably by Hardman.

The two aisles end in chapels, and it is in the Blessed Virgin Mary chapel at the east end of the south aisle that you'll find the Annunciation window. The chapel at the east end of the north aisle contains the Sacred heart altar, and a great curiosity, a figure brass to an earlier Priest of the parish." Text Source: (visit link)
