Norwich has a rich and fascinating history. An important
Anglo-Saxon market town at the time of the Norman invasion, it grew
to become one of the leading cities of England by the early Middle
Ages and second only to London in the 16th and 17th centuries. It
retained its importance until the Industrial Revolution when,
although it was overtaken in size by the new manufacturing towns,
it maintained its reputation as one of the most radical and
progressive of cities. In this book the author skilfully combines
the latest historical and archaeological findings with a quarter
century of original research into the city archives to provide a
lively narrative together with a superb selection of illustrations.
From its beginnings he describes the city's growth and government
and the many dramatic episodes in its life. He looks at the lives
of many of its famous residents but, above all, describes the life
of the ordinary people through the centuries- how they earned their
livings, their living conditions, with problems of poverty and
health, their schooling and how they enjoyed their leisure time. A
recurrent theme in the book is the constant flow of people and
ideas between Norwich and its neighbours on the continent of
Europe. This book will be warmly welcomed by local historians,
while its attractive style and presentation will ensure its
popularity with the general reader, whether resident or visitor.
