Description: "Throughout the middle ages, Norwich was one of the most populous and celebrated cities in England. Dominated by its castle and cathedral priory, it was the centre of government power in East Anglia, as well as an important trading entrepot. Medieval Norwich is an account of the growth of the city, with its walls, streams, markets, hospitals and churches, and of the lives of its citizens. It traces their activities and beliefs, as well as the tensions lying not far beneath the surface that eventually erupted in Kett's Rebellion of 1549"--Jacket.
