Norwich cathedral audio tour
One of England's finest cathedrals
Norwich's Norman cathedral is one of the treasures of East Anglia. Enhance your sightseeing trip or weekend break in Norwich with our audio tour of the cathedral.
We'll tell you how the original Norman church was extended upwards in later times, so that now it has the finest set of Gothic vaults and roof bosses of any cathedral in the country. You'll meet Bishop Walter Lyhart, whose nave vault includes a series of bosses with hidden meanings. We'll show you a grinning little skeleton from Elizabethan times, a wonderful and very rare medieval painting, and a whole flock of pelicans. We'll also tell you the stories of the roof bosses in the cloister - like medieval comic strips, with themes from the life of Jesus to 'Apocalypse Then'!
The tour starts at the Erpingham Gate on Tombland, just west of the cathedral. We enter the cathedral by the west door and walk around the cathedral, then around the cloisters.
