Fix this text■JW'ORWICH, the capital of East Anglia,
Fix this textis a busy and thriving city of 120,000
Fix this textpeople. It is the administrative capital,
Fix this textshopping and market centre for the great
Fix this textagricultural county of Norfolk and part
Fix this textof Suffolk as well. At the same time,
Fix this textit is one of the chief shoe-manufactur-
Fix this texting towns in Britain ; it also has large
Fix this textengineering works and a variety of pros-
Fix this textperous light industries.
Fix this textAll this busy commercial and indus-
Fix this texttrial life is super-imposed upon the pat-
Fix this texttern and intermingled with the buildings
Fix this textof ancient Norwich which was founded
Fix this texta thousand years ago as a Saxon settle-
Fix this textment. It rose to great wealth and im-
Fix this textportance after the Norman Conquest in
Fix this textthe 11th century. From then until the
Fix this text18 th century it disputed with Bristol the
Fix this textdistinction of being the second largest
Fix this textcity in England after London.
Fix this textThe charm of Norwich lies in the mix-
Fix this textture of the modem with the medieval and
Fix this textfew cities have retained so much evidence
Fix this textof the historic past. The modern artisan
Fix this textcycles or drives to work along the same
Fix this textnarrow streets that once swarmed with
Fix this textElizabethan journeymen who worked at
Fix this texttheir looms in the steep-gabled houses
Fix this textwhich still exist today.
Fix this textAnother distinctive feature of Norwich
Fix this textis the patterned flintwork used in the
Fix this textbuilding of some of the city’s ancient con-
Fix this textstructions. The most important of these
Fix this textis the beautiful early-15th century Guild-
Fix this texthall, illustrated here. In this building be-
Fix this textside the market-place the City Council
Fix this textregularly held its meetings from 1413
Fix this textuntil 1938 when the new City Hall, near-
Fix this textby, was completed. In the 19th century
Fix this textthe exterior of the Guildhall was much
Fix this textaltered but the diamond pattern of flint
Fix this textand freestone on the front wall is part
Fix this textof the original building.
Fix this textNotable features of the interior are the
Fix this textlinen-fold panelling of the walls and the
Fix this textcarved oak-beamed ceiling. The furnish-
Fix this textings of the old Council Chamber are very
Fix this textmuch the same today as in 1578 when a
Fix this textpageant was presented there for the enter-
Fix this texttainment of Queen Elizabeth I. In 1797
Fix this textLord Nelson was made a freeman of the
Fix this textcity and a letter from him, together with
Fix this textthe sword of a Spanish admiral, which he
Fix this textpresented to the city after the Battle of
Fix this textCape St. Vincent, are preserved in the
Fix this textCouncil Chamber. In the dungeon be-
Fix this textneath the building, the martyr, Thomas
Fix this textBilney, was imprisoned before he was
Fix this textburnt at the stake in 1531.
