WALKING TOUR Alleyways East: Off the Beaten Track

As an important medieval City, Norwich still has many alleyways away from the major road network. Many of these alleyways have an interesting story to tell. Jonathan will introduce some of these stories in a guided walk from the Market place towards eastern Norwich. It is an almost circular route, returning to the bottom of Westlegate once the tour is over. The secrets of Weaver’s Lane, Boar’s Head Yard, the origin of the name of Winall’s Yard, Chapel Loke, Lady Julian’s cell, Old Barge yard, Stepping Lane and Grouts yard, will all be revealed.

Jonathan Hooton is a City of Norwich Tour Guide, a former Head of Geography at Notre Dame High School and a regular feature in the Society's event programme.

The tour will begin by the tower at St Peter Mancroft and take about 1 ½ hours. It is on reasonable footways although there will be several slopes involved in the walk.
