St Peter Mancroft | Norwich, EN

As an important medieval City, Norwich still has many alleyways away from the major road network. These alleyways have an interesting story.
About this Event

Tour Guide Jonathan Hooton will introduce to 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.

Meet outside the tower of St Peter Mancroft opposite the Forum. End at the bottom of Westlegate. This should take about 1 ½ hours and is on reasonable footways although there will be several slopes and steps involved in the walk.
