Norwich is not only one of the most attractive cities in England, it is also one of the most historically significant, with a proud heritage dating all the way back to the Iceni, who bravely fought the Roman invasion.

Much of this rich and vibrant past is still in evidence today.

Fully illustrated with stunning photographs from the past and present, this new guide to the town’s history will appeal to residents and visitors alike.
