moreFrom the tip of its 19th-century spire to its Norman foundations, everything about this town centre chapel is dazzling. Light floods from its magnificent windows into the interior. Monuments from the 17th- and 18th-centuries, some with startlingly life-like painted figures, celebrate King's Lynn's seamen, merchants, mayors and shopkeepers and illustrate the town's long history as a busy commercial centre and port. The chapel's carved woodwork is of such quality that some of it is now in the V&A Museum, but in the medieval stalls you can still see an astonishing collection of carved creatures. In the 15th-century wooden roof, carved angels with outstretched wings sing and play musical instruments. One holds a recorder -- the earliest ever portrayal of the instrument in church carving. Come and explore nine centuries of treasures in this extraordinary and beautiful chapel - the largest chapel of ease in England.less
