The contents are fully expressed in the title-page, the arrangement is adapted to every capacity, and will be found to answer every useful purpose. The houses in each street are all regularly numbered, beginning on the righ

THE CASTLE

THE CASTLE

Is supposed to have been built by King Canute, the Dane, in 1018; and as far the greater number of his subjects were Saxons, who, at this period, were the first architects, and most probably employed, it is considered as one of the most complete Saxon remains in England. In confirmation of this opinion, all its ornaments are in the true Saxon style; and the bridge leading to it is unquestionably one of the noblest and most perfect Saxon arches now extant. The inside, instead of an open yard, was

THE CATHEDRAL

THE CATHEDRAL

Was founded by Bishop Herbert in 1096, and was chiefly composed of wood, which, by various accidents, and the turbulence of the times, was often greatly damaged. The present Cathedral is a fine Gothic free-stone building, brought to the magnificent state in which it now appears by the bounty of numerous benefactors, at various times, and completed by William Middleton, the thirty-sixth Bishop, in the year 1284. The roof is adorned with various well-carved images, from the historical passages of

ST. ANDREW’S HALL,

Formerly the monastery church of the Black Friars, or Benedictine Monks, is a beautiful structure, about 50 yards in length, and 30 in width: the roof is supported by twelve neat and very slender pillars. It was built by Sir Thomas Erpingham, Knt. in 1428; and was the place where the company of St. George used to hold their meetings of business and pleasure. The Mayor’s guild-feast is always held here. Over a clock, in the center of the East end, is carved the effigies of Justice, and underneat

ST. PETER OF MANCROFT CHURCH

It is esteemed a very handsome parish church: has a fine square tower steeple, 98 feet high, though designed at first to have been much higher, as appears from the double buttresses reaching to the top, and the thickness of the walls: this tower contains an excellent peal of twelve bells, cast by Messrs. Pack and Chapman, of London, in 1775; the Tenor weighing 41 cwt. The whole is covered with lead, and supported by two rows of pillars, remarkably neat

BRIDEWELL,

BRIDEWELL,

Was built by Bartholomew Appleyard, about the year 1370. William Appleyard, his son, the first Mayor of Norwich, served his Mayoralty here in 1403. The North wall of this Bridewell is encrusted with cut flints, and is seventy-six feet in length, by about twenty-five high: it is considered one of the greatest curiosities of the kind in England. The flints are squared to such a nicety, that the edge of a knife can scarcely be insinuated between the joints: most of them are about three inches sq
