Fifty-seven parish churches are known to have stood within the walls of medieval Norwich. Despite damages and losses, thirty-one of them remain standing today and are the greatest concentration of urban medieval churches north of the Alps. These churches are the embodiment of centuries of change - tangible evidence of the developing historry of the city's architecture and community from the Middle Ages to the present.

THE CATHEDRAL OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST (sjbcathedral.org;uk)

This great church was built as the result of the inspiration and generosity of Henry Fitzalan Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk. It was designed by George Gilbert Scott Junior, a member of the illustrious Victorian family of architects responsible for so many wonderful examples of architectural heritage in England... Built in the early English gothic style, St John's, as it is known locally represents one of the best examples of the Victorian Gothic revival. It was completed in 1910 and for the first seven decades of its life was the parish church for the Catholics of Norwich. In 1976, with the creation of the Diocese of East Anglia, it was elevated to the Cathedral Church of the new diocese, the Mother Church of Catholics in Norfolk, Sulfolk, Cambridge and Peterborough.

NORWICH CATHEDRAL

The Cathedral has stood for over 900 years as a Christian presence in the heart of Norfolk. It is a place of public worship and private prayer, of hospitality and education. The journey begins in the centre of the Nave (from the Latin navis, ship).

The Nave represented the earthly creation. The carved bosses of the vault tell the story of earth's creation, our redemption and Gods plan for eternity.

The Cloister

This was the passageway that linked the different parts of the monastery. The monks would use the Cloister to go to the Church for worship and prayer, to the Chapter House for meetings, to the Refectory for meals, to the Library to study...

James' son Jeremiah James Colman later took over the company which moved to its present location at Carrow, Norwich.

He built a subsidised school for his employees' children and employed one of the very first industrial nurses, to help sick employees.
