Changes in the layout of the cathedral and its close traced over
600 years, using Norwich as a case-study. Winner of a CHOICE
Outstanding Academic Title Award What explains the layout of the
cathedral and its close? What ideas and beliefs shaped this
familiar landscape? Through this pioneering study of the
development of theclose of Norwich cathedral - one of the most
important buildings in medieval England - from its foundation in
1096 up to c.1700, the author looks at changes in cathedral
landscape, both sacred and social. Using evidence from history,
archaeology and other disciplines, Professor Gilchrist reconstructs
both the landscape and buildings of the close, and the
transformations in their use and meaning over time. Much emphasis
is placed on the layout and the ways in which buildings and spaces
were used and perceived by different groups. Patterns observed at
Norwich are then placed in the context of other cathedral priories,
allowing a broader picture to emerge of the development of the
English cathedral landscape over six centuries. Roberta Gilchrist
is Professor of Archaeology and Research Dean at the University of
Reading. She is a Fellow of the British Academy and held the post
of Archaeologist toNorwich Cathedral for 12 years.
