Norwich
Norwich, the capital of Norfolk, was once second only to London in importance,
growing out of several small Saxon settlements at the lowest fording point
along the River Wensum.
Before the Norman Conquest of 1066, Norwich was one of the largest towns in
England. The conquerors built a castle and a cathedral, and established a new
market place which is still in use today.
