Chape Norwich Merchant Mark preview

Historical Context

Editorially reviewed

Norwich stained glass preserves a merchant mark associated with the Chapp or Chape family in conjunction with heraldic arms. Surviving evidence does not securely establish the bearer’s occupation, although a mercantile or grocer context has been suggested. The uncertainty should remain explicit.

Provenance: Recorded in Norwich stained glass and antiquarian descriptions associated with the Chapp/Chape name; the precise individual remains uncertain.
