The Norwich Apocalypse

I. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. (Rev. 1:1)

The Norwich Apocalypse is a sequence of about a hundred bosses telling the story of the Book of Revelation. They run clockwise through the south and west walks of the cathedral cloisters starting at the Dark Entry, and were installed during the second half of the 14th Century. Although they have suffered some iconoclastic damage, probably in the 1540s, they remain one of the liveliest and most vivid medieval Apocalypse sequences in the world.
