Pre-eminent in this expanded and revised volume is the city of Norwich, rich in major buildings
of outstanding quality, from Norman cathedral and castle, medieval churches and merchant's
houses to twentieth century city hall, shopping centre and university. Descriptions of Norfolk
parish churches are complemented by succinct accounts of less well known buildings, from
Abbey ruins to coastal fishing settlements and farmhouses to windpumps and barns. Major
country houses, including the magnificent Jacobean Blickling Hall and landscaped parks such
as Repton's Sheringham, are covered, along with the works of local architect, Thomas Ivory. The
highly individual history of the medieval walled town of Great Yarmouth, as the most important
of Norfolk's ports, is examined in detail for the first time.
