Norwich Castle
Featuring never-before-seen archives and artefacts from Norwich Castle’s 900-year history, including a wealth of new research uncovered by the Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England project to transform the Keep, the exhibition shows this majestic landmark in a fascinating new light. Standing atop the largest man-made mound in the country, Norwich Castle has dominated the City’s skyline ever since the 12th century; but what is the story of Norwich’s iconic and much-loved square box on the hill? Built as a royal palace, Norwich Castle was a Norman showpiece with lavishly-decorated interiors fit for a king. By the 14th century, it had become the County Gaol confining Norfolk’s prisoners within its walls. With the opening of the new prison at the end of the 19th century, the Castle’s fate was uncertain, until its conversion into a public museum, which it remains to this day. The Square Box on the Hill illustrates this rich history through a stunning mixture of prints, models, paintings, architectural plans and memorabilia, many of which have never been on display before. Supported by headline sponsors Brown&Co, the exhibition also showcases the latest exciting plans for the Castle’s future as part of the Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. https://www.visitnorfolk.co.uk/inspire/norwich-castle-exhibition.aspx

Norwich City Hall
City Hall is one of the finest municipal buildings of the inter-war period in England. During the 19th century, the city’s civic offices were housed in the medieval Guildhall and a range of old buildings located in what is now the Market Place. Today Norwich City Council is based at City Hall. The art deco architecture still stands as strong today as it did when it was built. So striking, it is one of the Norwich 12, a collection of twelve heritage buildings considered to have particular cultural and historical importance. Members of the public are welcome to enter the reception during office hours to witness the beautiful architecture for themselves. https://www.visitnorwich.co.uk/service/city-hall/
