Hustle & bustle
One of the oldest open air markets in the country, Norwich market is often very busy through the week.
When the Normans arrived in Norwich after the Conquest, they established a new Borough to the west of the Castle. They also established a new market in what became known as the French Borough. This market has been at the heart of Norwich ever since.
At the height of the Middle Ages the Market stretched from the Guildhall to St Stephen’s Church. Its importance grew as Norwich became one of the richest towns in the country with its booming woollen cloth industry.
