Rambles in an Old City comprising antiquarian, historical, biographical and political associations

A gentle, wandering tour of Norwich unfolds in this compact volume, where the author blends modest research with personal observation gathered over a decade of living in the city. The pages stitch together snippets of cathedral history, old‑city streetscapes, and the everyday bustle that still echoes the town’s medieval roots, all presented in a conversational tone that feels more like a chat with a knowledgeable friend than a formal lecture.

The work steers clear of heavy scholarship, drawing on publicly available records and the generous help of local antiquarians, yet it manages to illuminate the layers of architecture and civic life that give Norwich its unique character. Readers will find a series of pleasant “ramblings” that spark curiosity about the connections between past and present, making the old city feel both familiar and freshly intriguing.
