Some account of the sources of information should be given in the preface to a history, in order to assure the reader of the authenticity of the narrative. No one can have turned over a booksellers catalogue of local historical publications without observing how few they are in comparison with the extent and importance of the particular district in view. The fact is, that most of the productions of the early authors are either very scarce or are entirely out of print. No city or county can boast of so many industrious topographers and antiquarians as Norwich and Norfolk. If we arrange them in alphabetical order, we have: A mes, Beatniffe, Blomefield, P. Browne, Brettingham, Sir Thomas Browne, Chambers, Coiy, Cotman, Dixon, Eldridge, Sir Richard EU es, Forby, Sir John Fenn, Sir Andrew Fountaine, RF itch, Gibson, Gillingwater, Hudson Gumey, Green, Gunn, Gurdon, Harrod, I ves, Kent,

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed historical survey of the city of Norwich from its inception to the early 20th century. Norwich is first mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, but the author believes that it probably existed as a settlement prior to this date. The book includes chapters on the ancient city, the medieval city, the city during the Tudor period, the city during the Stuart period, the city during the Georgian period, and the city during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. Each chapter provides a wealth of information on the city's political, economic, social, and cultural history. Among the topics covered are the city's walls and gates, its churches, its monasteries, its schools, its hospitals, its industries, and its famous citizens. The author provides useful information for anyone interested in local history, providing a detailed account of the city's development over the centuries, its changing fortunes, and its eventual emergence as a major industrial and commercial centre. The author also discusses the city's rich architectural heritage, and the many notable buildings that have been constructed over the centuries.
