Norwich is the most complete medieval city in Britain. It has a
magnificent Norman cathedral, boasting the largest cloisters in England and the
second tallest spire in the country. It also has a 20th century Roman Catholic
Cathedral. The City contains a jumble of medieval streets and lanes and the
largest open-air market in the country.
Norwich has been the second largest city in England and one of the most important
places in the kingdom. Yet Norwich's geographical isolation is such that until 1845
when a railway connection was established, it was often quicker to travel to Amsterdam
by boat than to London.
