The Bacon Memorial window was donated by the Friends of Norwich Cathedral in 1984. It is dedicated to Sir Edmund Bacon, High Steward of the cathedral from 1956 to 1970 and was collected and arranged by Dennis King (G King and Sons).

The central panel contains the armorial achievement of Sir Edmund including his Garter and motto "Mediocria firma". It is a modern piece made by G King & Sons.

The remaining glazing consists of reused medieval glass mainly from the church of St Andrew, Tottington, Norfolk and from Nowton Court, Suffolk.

At the foot of the left and right lights representations of St Mark, as a winged lion and St Matthew as "The Winged Man," both were originally located at Tottington. They both date from the period 1330 - 40. Between the two Evangelists in the central, is a lovely representation of the Virgin and Child. Of unknown origin it dates from a similar period.

Above the Evangelists are the Apostles St Matthew and St Thomas. Although their "bodies" date from c1300 their heads were replaced in the 15th century. The space between the panels and the canopies has been filled with fragments including a border made of alternating vine leaves and squirrels.
