Norwich - the best preserved English Tudor city

Описание к видео 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.
