Cathedra
Norwich Cathedral was founded in 1096 by Bishop Herbert de Losinga and built using Normandy stone shipped over from Caen. By 1145 the building had been completed, under the direction of Bishop Herbert’s successor, Eborard de Montgomery. It is open to visitors of all faiths and none. In beautiful grounds it’s an inspiring view, this is one of the most gorgeous architecture around, magnificent art and a fascinating history. One of the finest complete Romanesque cathedrals in Europe, with the second tallest spire and largest monastic cloisters in England, it houses more than a thousand beautiful medieval roof boss sculptures.
Tombland
Tombland was the site of the Anglo-Saxon Market Place before the Normans arrived. By the way, the name ‘Tombland’ has nothing to do with tombs – it means open-space. Based on a cross-roads that date back to the time of the Iceni, the layout of the roads was radically changed by the Normans who gave the whole East side (up to the river) to the church. In the photograph above you can see two of the gates that lead into the Cathedral grounds.
Castle Museum and Art Gallery
Built on a large artificial mound, Norwich Castle consists of a splendid Norman keep constructed in 1094 by William II that is now home to a superb museum and art gallery. Set out as a rotunda surrounded by various galleries containing extensive archaeological sections in addition the castle’s interior also houses natural history dioramas and collections of medieval weapons, glassware, and ceramics. The painting collection includes English and Dutch just beneath the castle is the Royal Norfolk Regimental Museum with its excellent collections of uniforms, medals, and paintings the city’s spacious Market Place.
Norwich City Center
Exploring the center of this delightful city will lead to the discovery of such gems as Strangers’ Hall in Charing Cross. A medieval merchant’s house now serving as a museum documenting domestic life from the udor period (1485 and 1603) to the Victorian era through costumes and furniture.
Steam Museum and Gardens
The site was purchased by Alan Bloom in 1946 but it was not until March 1961 when the horticulturist bought his first traction engine, named Bertha which still enjoys a home at the museum. Until his death in 2005 Mr Bloom’s steadily grew his collection of engines and added narrow gauge railways turning the gardens of the small Bressingham estate into a homage to his interest for the bygone age of steam. Locomotives running the five miles of track include the Royal Scot which is the last British Rail steam locomotive in passenger use. Alan is still very much missed. He was not a purist who only collected one type of locomotive. Here’s it’s an eclectic mix. His whole idea was to create a place for family fun.
