More about Norwich Norfolk
Norwich (pronounced variously "Norritch", "Norridge")
is a city in East Anglia, in Eastern England, and the
regional administrative centre and county town of
Norfolk.
In effect the City expands a long way beyond its actual
borough boundary, with large suburban areas on most
sides, particularly Thorpe St. Andrew on the eastern
side. The Parliamentary seats cross over into adjacent
local government districts. The population for the
Norwich Urban sub-area was 174,047 in 2001. It is the
27th largest settlement in England using this measure.
However, the population for the whole built-up area was
194,839 in 2001 (census figures), up 5.1% from the 1991
figure of 185,420. It is the 32nd-largest urban area in
England.
Norwich was a construct of the Anglo-Saxons, the Danes
and the Normans. The word Norvic appears on coins minted
during the reign of King Athelstan (early 10th century
AD). The ancient city was already a thriving centre for
trade and commerce in East Anglia when Swein Forkbeard
the Viking destroyed it in 1004 AD.
At the time of the Norman Conquest the city was one of
the largest in England, and it continued to be a major
centre for trade, especially wool. The River Wensum was
a convenient exporting route to the sea.
The main area of the city south of the Wensum was
destroyed by the construction of the Norman castle (see
Norwich Castle) during the 1070s creation of a "New" or
"French" borough.
In 1096 Bishop Losinga, then Bishop of Thetford, began
construction of the cathedral, then moved his See there
to what became the cathedral church for the Diocese of
Norwich. The bishop of Norwich stills signs himself
Norvic.
Middle ages
By the middle of the fourteenth century the City Walls,
about two and a half miles (4 km) long had been
completed. These, along with the river, enclosed a large
area, larger than that of the City of London. In the
early part of the fifteenth century, Julian of Norwich
wrote her famous work.
In 1144 the Jews of Norwich were falsely accused of
ritual murder after a boy (William of Norwich) was found
dead with stab wounds. The story was turned into a cult,
with William acquiring the status of martyr and crowds
of pilgrims bringing wealth to the local church. On Feb
6, 1190, all the Jews of Norwich were massacred except
for a few who found refuge in the castle.
The wealth generated by the wool trade throughout the
Middle Ages resulted in the construction of many fine
churches. Norwich still has one of the highest number of
medieval churches in Western Europe. Norwich Market had
trading links from Scandinavia to Spain. Around this
time, the city was made a county corporate.
The great immigration of 1567 brought a substantial
Walloon community of weavers to Norwich. Norwich has
been the home of various dissident minorities, notably
the French Huguenot and the Belgian Walloon communities
in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Primarily
through trading connections with mainland Europe, ideas
of religious reform and radical politics were introduced
to Norwich.
English Civil Wars to Victorian Era
The eastern counties were profoundly Parliamentarian in
nature and Norwich followed suit, at the cost of some
discomfit to the Lord Mayor, a Royalist, and the Bishop
Joseph Hall a moderate but targeted because of his
position.
The Norwich Canary was first introduced into England by
Flemish refugees fleeing from Spanish persecution in the
1500s. They brought with them not only advanced working
skills in textiles but also their pet canaries, which
they began to breed. The canary is the emblem of the
city's football team, Norwich City F.C., nicknamed "The
Canaries".
Until the 19th Century, Norwich remained a major
provincial capital and, alongside Bristol, was rated
closely after London in terms of importance and wealth.
Norwich's geographical isolation was such that until
1834 when a railway connection was established, it was
often quicker to travel to Amsterdam by boat than to
London. The railway was brought to Norwich by Morton
Peto who also built the line onto Great Yarmouth.
There has always been a general tolerance of "incomers"
by the "native" population of Norwich and Norfolk,
though becoming a "local" is still reckoned to take
decades. There are good rail links from Norwich railway
station to Peterborough and London, and direct services
to Cambridge were added in 2004.
A large proportion of the population of Norwich are
users of the Internet. A recent article has suggested
that, compared with other UK cities, it is top of the
league for the percentage of population who use the
popular Internet auction site eBay.
