Norwich and it's wealth.




The Normans relocated Norwich to where it is today the market being it's center, with the new castle overlooking the city. In 1096 the cathedral was started and stone was brought over from France to build this amazing Cathedral. The city wall was also constructed during this time 2.5 miles and parts of that wall are still there today. The medieval time brought wool merchants and weaving merchants into the city. The fabric called Worstead was named after a village north of Norwich. This time in history brought much wealth to the people of Norwich.
There are thirty one medieval churches still standing today and many other buildings from that wonderful period in time can be seen as you walk around Norwich.
It is amazing how a city has so much history. I have been around the castle walked the cobbled streets of Norwich and sung Christmas carols in the Cathedral and yet still today I am in aw that the history of this city I once called home.
