Fix this textTHE CHOIR OF
Fix this textNORWICH CATHEDRAL,
Fix this textA GEM OF ARCHITECTURE
Fix this text"VTORWICH, in East Anglia, is a city
Fix this textin which the past and present blend
Fix this textharmoniously, but the two most striking
Fix this textand imposing features of the city are both
Fix this textinherited from the past; they are the
Fix this textCathedral and the Castle, and both are
Fix this textof Norman design.
Fix this textThe Cathedral, which dates from 1096,
Fix this textis approached through the Erpingham
Fix this textGate, built by that redoubtable old
Fix this textKnight, Sir Thomas Erpingham, who
Fix this textcommanded the rearguard at the Battle
Fix this textof Agincourt in 1415.
Fix this textNorwich Cathedral was designed on
Fix this textthe grand scale, and its success can only
Fix this textbe measured in superlatives. The lofty
Fix this textNorman nave, bounded by its massive
Fix this textcolumns, is the chief glory of the interior
Fix this textof the Cathedral, but it is closely rivalled
Fix this textby the magnificent Choir, shown in the
Fix this textaccompanying illustration.
Fix this textBecause of its monastic origin, the
Fix this textChoir is in the nave, occupying The two
Fix this texteasternmost bays. Here can be seen a
Fix this textmagnificent series of sixty-two choir
Fix this textstalls dating from the early 15th century,
Fix this textwith elaborately carved canopies and
Fix this textmisericords ; the latter are carved seats
Fix this texton which the monks could rest during
Fix this textthe long night offices.
Fix this textBetween the 12th and 16th centuries
Fix this textthis part of-the Cathedral was repeatedly
Fix this textdamaged by fire and storm ; the magnifi-
Fix this textcent stone roof was added in the 15th
Fix this textcentury. Behind the high altar stands a
Fix this textprimitive stone throne, the only one of
Fix this textits kind in northern latitudes, and it
Fix this textoriginally served as the seat of the
Fix this textfounder of the Cathedral, Herbert de
Fix this textLosinga, 850 years ago.
Fix this textRegimental colours are preserved in
Fix this textthe Choir, and two of the oldest belong
Fix this textto regiments which left England to
Fix this textreinforce troops in India during the
Fix this textMutiny in 1857. The transport carrying
Fix this textthe regiment caught fire when a thousand
Fix this textmiles from land, and had it not been for
Fix this textthe order and discipline that prevailed
Fix this textthe ship would have been completely
Fix this textlost with all on board. While the flames
Fix this textwere at their height the pair of colours
Fix this textwhich now hang in Norwich Cathedral
Fix this textwere rescued from the burning saloon by
Fix this texttwo soldiers.
