Norwich - the best preserved English Tudor city

  • 2 days in Norwich, England - Did not realise until we went to Norwich that from Medieval times until the industrial revolution Norwich was both the wealthiest and the second largest city in England. 57 churches stood within the city wall, 31 of the medieval churches still exist today, and seven are still used for worship plus there are 2 cathedrals. We started at the Sainsbury Centre and art gallery on the way into town. We visited St Giles church with its 1896 organ, walked along the recently renovated Wensum riverside walk past the Briton’s Arms and along the cobbled street of the Tudor Elm Hill, the most photographed crocked Augustine Stewart house and on to the 900 year old cathedral. Back along the river we passed Pull’s ferry, the Cow Tower, the new Jarrold bridge and the oldest pub in the city (would you Adam and Eve it) and on to the museum and art gallery in Norwich Castle. We toured Strangers’ Hall and finished with a visit to the 900 year old Market.

    Thank you for showing the Roman Catholic Cathedral. It is so often forgotten because of the better publicised Anglican one. If you had gently asked the priest on duty for permission to film inside, it is likely you would have received it. It is beautiful inside, and worth your time. If you visit again, take in the Plantation Garden which is a short walk from the RC Cathedral.

    I enjoyed your video very much , but you didn't visit Wensum Park and our parks, as well as our mall's. I was born a member of the Royal Family in a maternity home near West Runton in 1963. Norwich has been my home for 24 years, when my husband and I got together, before we were married. The council discovered I was born a Royal Princess , only recently.
    My husband and I use to rescue wildlife around Norfolk. Somebody said we needed title's unaware I already had one. I schooled over in the US, but the UK was calling me home at at 28 , I came home. My British accent was quite strong up to the age of seven. Anyway, I've recovered majority of it, as I could never properly speak like an American. Unfortunately, my spelling is a mixture . I learned to read and spell very young and the Bible has always been my favourite book. I'm a Davidic Messianic Jewess or Messianic Jewish Princess. So, I'm of the House of David, Hanover ( Prussian House, but believe it could be Hanover, it is in Royal Genealogy at Buckingham Palace of Windsor Castle connected via Saxe-Coburg-Gotha or House of Wettin).
    I was born with moderate-severe Cerebral Palsy, and at present in a care home waiting to be rehoused, because the council failed to notice by my maiden name that I was a Royal. So, they allowed an illegal eviction to go through. I could have a go, but as I now have their full support to get us moved to Bowthorpe to be with my husband. So, really we shouldn't have been evicted. However, I'm interested in certain people like the Barrister that told me that I had NO RIGHT TO BE ALIVE, TO LIVE, TO HAVE BEEN BORN , TO EXIST after the Judge and him had ordered us to be raped prior to them getting us in a kangaroo court. I know the names of the people involved and know if mankind doesn't get justice that YAHUSHA HA'MOSHIACH ELOHIYM will.

    I am concerned why there were no swans or ducklings on the river and what happened to the River Steamers? I love Norwich , as it is the ONLY city in the world that has all the things I love that is ancient architecture and mixed with modern architecture. It has woodlands, forests, and parks so beautiful to make you cry not seen in most cities. It is mixed with old and new, but the city for all it's beauty has a very dark history in several parts of the city and is one of the most haunted. I saw the Woman in Black at the Castle in the Art Gallery, but has changed , since I was last there

    This is l guess the third or fourth video of this town l've watched. My ancestors came from between Norwich and Ipswich, from a place called Shelton.
    I have been pronouncing the name wrong,but being from Texas l reckon it happens when Americans visit. I didn't realize it was Nor-ridge in British lingo.
    I would pronounce it Nor-Witch,which is incorrect.
    I just wonder how Ipswich is pronounced?

      MJB was shut-down a few years back and yes you chose probably the worst and cheapest hotel group in the City. Do not let it deter you (nor any other reader) from visiting Norwich. Simply use Trip Advisor etc to ensure you select one of the myriad of warm, clean, welcoming hotels / B&Bs to use as your base. Enjoy!
