  • Norwich, a living medieval city, has a history of more than a thousand years. The region was influenced by Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans, and had a significant position in both religion and trade.The initial appearance of the city was formed during the Middle Ages.Many famous buildings, such as Norwich Castle and Norwich Cathedral, were established during the Middle Ages and still stands beside the people living within the old city walls. Many of the medieval buildings are converted to new uses suiting the life in the 21st century. The ancient city has combined with its modern part, making Norwich what it is today.
    My last personal project before I leave the UK. Show my love to Norwich and the memory of my life in this fine city. Special thanks to Huina Kong.

    Brilliant video mate of our fine city! What makes this even more impressive is that you're not even from the same continent let alone being from Norwich! You've clearly put a lot of work into this. Well done!

    It's a great compliment that a Chinese person, from such a different culture, is so interested in this obscure corner of English history. I'm English and knew very little about Norwich, thanks for your informative video.

    Great job!. I love the city of my birth. I live in the U.S. now and they think 200 years is history LOL . I do miss my home town, so much history. I used to go the Castle museum all the time.

    I have been Norwich twice in a year. I could not tell the reason clearly why I love that city until I watch the video. I love the unique historical feeling as well as its modern facilities. And the most important thing is the atmosphere of peaceful daily life there, seems making the time stop flowing.

    Boudiccas Celtic tribe the Iceni had their lands around the Norwich area so there could be a good chance Norwich was a Celtic settlement first , the romans would have set up shop where there were already settlements the most people think London is Roman but on the Thames we have found Celtic artifacts and in a London Museum is a dug out canuoo that's neolithic ., most settlements in human history are around rivers but loved your video some great information and you got some lovely shots of a beautiful city , thank you .

    You made a pretty fine job of describing the history of. my home city as an introduction. Well done. There is a lot more to Norwich than this but it is indeed, a vertable hook, for those folks who are interested in the vast history of the city.
    Norfolk, as a whole, has a vast and diverse history: esoecially that of the Iceni.

  • @QueenlySweetpea

    What a wonderful and informative video this is, so many amazing & beautiful features to this city. I visited here in 1984 only saw a limited small area, stayed at the Maid's Head hotel, which btw I found from personal experience is haunted. The Catheral right near by never got a chance to see inside because of our schedual, but the outside was nice. Our tour guide also took us to Stranger's Hall but mostly stayed around Tombland area. This was much more informative about the whole of the city than what our tour guide had conveyed. Enjoyed this tour very much with the wonderful photography :)
