Medieval Norwich by Carole Rawcliffe
Think of Norwich, and you may well think of Delia Smith, Alan Partridge or Coleman's mustard. What you may not know, is that until the 18th century, Norwich was England's second city. Throughout the middle ages, Norwich was one of the most populous and celebrated cities in England. Dominated by its castle and cathedral priory, it was the centre of government power in East Anglia, as well as an important trading centre. With records dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, and many buildings surviving from the middle ages, the history of medieval Norwich is an exceptionally rich one. "Medieval Norwich" is an account of the growth of the city, with its walls, streams, markets, hospitals and churches, and the lives of its citizens. It traces activities and beliefs, as well as the tensions lying not far beneath the surface that eventually erupted in Kett's Rebellion of 1549.
Carole Rawcliffe is Professor of Medieval History at the University of East Anglia, UK.
