Norwich

Blurb

The city of Norwich is dominated by its Norman castle, its cathedral and large flint city walls, parts of which are still visible today. It is, and was, a 'Fine City' indeed, with a reputation as the largest walled town in England during the Middle Ages, a rich provincial city with many well preserved medieval buildings and, reputedly, a pub for every day of the year! Originally published in 1994, this revised and updated book presents an overview of the history of the development of the city from its preA ]urban days, through the fundamental changes brought by the Normans, the thriving medieval urban and commercial centre, through to the darker days of the Black Death and Reformation.
