Norwich was first recorded in Saxon times, a thousand years later the City survived Norman invasion, rebellion, plague, fire and war. In 1578 Queen Elizabeth I made her only visit to
Norwich, then the 2nd greatest city in England.
Norwich is a city shaped by its churches and it was also once home to over 700 pubs – a pub for every day of the year. See the original Norman market place to follow the trail of
Norwich Merchants, follow in the steps of
Nelson or take in the architecture of Thomas Ivory, Thomas Boardman and George Skipper. There is so much to see and experience.
