Norwich, 1490 — England's Second City

Norwich in 1490 is at the height of its medieval cloth wealth: wool and worsted from east Norfolk fill its wharves and its markets, and a church for every week of the year rises from lanes inside the long stone walls. This walk follows the river and streets from Mousehold Heath into the close and through merchant quarters, passing cathedral spire, castle keep, trading halls, staithes and the market under the castle.

24 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 8 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Norwich as it stood in 1490 (“Norwich”).
