INTRODUCTION TO NORWICH CHURCHES

Discover the unparalled richness and diversity of Norwich’s churches and the techniques used to interpret them. Norwich has one of the most important collections of mediæval churches in Europe – a reflection of its wealth in the Middle Ages. On this course we will explore the thirty-one remaining churches as a means of discovering their design, development, art, and architecture, and also examine the ‘lost’ churches. We shall also look at the problems of maintaining these buildings, and how they can be repurposed when no longer needed for worship.
