The Church of England in Norfolk and North-East Suffolk
Diocesan-wide event
Bishops, monks and the towns they owned

Tuesday 1 April
13.00 at Norwich Cathedral Library The Close Norwich NR1 4EH
First of two lectures on aspects of Church history, by the Canon Librarian, the Archdeacon of Norwich

In 1272 the townsfolk of Norwich caused considerable damage to the monastic buildings.  But this was no isolated incident.  As the economy grew in medieval England and merchants prospered they looked for greater autonomy from the owners of the towns.  So who were the owners?  How did they come to have such important assets and who were the eventual winners?
Admission price: Free (donations to the library welcome)
