Friends' visit to Norwich Cathedral 17th November 2023

Friends' visit to Norwich Cathedral 17th November 2023.
Despite it being November we chose the one sunny day for our visit to Norwich Cathedral. We had two very knowledgeable guides to show us around this magnificent building, full of history and beauty from its intricate needlework to its powerful masonry. In the nave the biggest collection of masonry Roof Bosses in the world telling the stories of the Bible from Creation to the Last Judgement. The Despenser Reredos dating back to 1380 being the only surviving medieval English altarpiece with scenes from Christ’s Passion. An area dedicated to Edith Cavell who is buried at the Cathedral. We enjoyed lunch together and then had time to do a little exploring in the town before our journey home. See more photos taken by Martin Hugall and Tony Downing on our noticeboard and below in the slideshow. We now look forward to our visit to Rochester in the spring.
