Jenny Lind and Norwich

A walk with Norwich tour guide, Paul Dickson, celebrating 170 years of the Jenny Lind Hospital. The tour includes the story of Jenny Lind's concerts in Norwich in 1847 and 1849 and the foundation of the Jenny Lind Hospital; visits to the old Bishop's Palace where Jenny Lind stayed (courtesy of Norwich School) and Norwich Cathedral to view the memorial window to Bishop Stanley, who was Jenny Lind's host. We will also go to the Norfolk Heritage Centre at The Forum to view the original posters promoting the Jenny Lind concerts; finishing with a walk to Pottergate to see the site of the original Jenny Lind Hospital. The tour starts at the Erpingham Gate of Norwich Cathedral in Tombland.
