Spent much of my life growing up in Norfolk and visited Norwich regularly until my parents moved away several years ago. I went with my now wife there a few years ago including to the castle and cathedral which I hadn’t visited in years prior to that occasion. Bought back many good memories and made me appreciate it more.

@AlexTheHistoryGuy Год назад

Well hopefully you'll enjoy my upcoming video which tells the history of Norfolk through it's many ruined churches. Will be posting on new years eve :)

@TheVaughan5 3 года назад

Thanks for your informative video. It's interesting that Norwich doesn't have the fame of some other English cathedrals I guess because it's not as grand as for instance York or Durham but it's unquestionably one of the most beautiful of all. As an architectural historian, I particularly like the large extent of Romanesque which you don't find in many other cathedrals.

@AlexTheHistoryGuy 3 года назад

Thank you! Yeah i believe it may be because many other cathedrals were commonly updated to reflect the latest architectural trends, which Norwich did too, but mostly with its churches, not the cathedral as much. I dunno haha

@lewis72 11 месяцев назад

"I guess because it's not as grand as for instance York or Durham" - It has the 2nd tallest spire in the UK, only behind -Canterbury- Salisbury.

Many thanks, Alex! I used to live nearby, and would often visit the cathedral. I miss Norwich, and maybe one day I'll make it back there. Other than the churches I miss the pubs too.

@AlexTheHistoryGuy 3 года назад

Much appreciated, and yes there a lot of decent pubs in Norwich with plenty atmosphere. Hopefully you can get back to Norwich one day soon!

@peterdovganik8794 2 года назад

Omg same!! I had the privilege of living in Norwich a year ago when I had a semester abroad at UEA. I miss the churches so much. And yes, the pubs. The Belgian light beer I had at the Belgian Monk was truly something. I wish I could return one day and show the city to the people I love

Great video Alex. Love Norwich Cathedral and have visited it many times. In fact Norwich is surely "A fine City"!

@AlexTheHistoryGuy Год назад

Totally agree!

@genamaru1684 3 года назад

This is so beautiful tour of the Cathedral. The first background music is ok, but almost at the end it is too loud to listen the voice, witch is a shame, I was disappointed no to be able to finish the tour! But thank you so much for this interesting information. I live in Norwich and been in the Cathedral many time before, but I need to go again to appreciate the points you have mention. Congratulation for your hard work.

@AlexTheHistoryGuy 3 года назад

Thank you! Very much appreciated. Yeah I am still figuring out the perfect volume for the music, as it sounds a lot quiet in my editing software. RU-vid seems to increase the volume by itself and I'm not sure why hah

@ikarus_incarnate 2 года назад

Another great video Alex! Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us, you do our fine city a good service. There is so much history to be discovered around the city and some very interesting local people, least of all the obvious ' national hero ' Horatio Nelson... I am looking forward to seeing more and learning more about my home city... Thanks for sharing!

@AlexTheHistoryGuy 2 года назад

I have plenty of videos planned about Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk area 😊 and yes I may do a video about Nelson in the future

@carywest9256 Год назад

Didn't know Nelson was from Norwich, wonder if he is kin to Willie Nelson. That would be a trip!

I miss the west end being the entrance, now you have to go through the gift shop first

@AlexTheHistoryGuy 3 года назад

Handy hint - usually the entrance to the Cloisters is open on the outside of the cathedral just by the south end, that way you can get in and not have a staff member give you the evil eye when you walk past the donation box 😁

Do you ever do in person talks or tours around norwich? I think many people would be very interested, me included.

@AlexTheHistoryGuy Год назад

I would genuinely love to. I was discussing getting set up with a local tour company but the money wasn't worth me taking time out to organise it all. I also recently moved away from Norwich to start an Armoury Apprenticeship so I only come back to Norwich every few months to see friends and family. I do want to do my own history tours around historic sites of Britain one day though!

Hi there! Thanks for letting me know about the music, it's really hard to get it right because RU-vid automatically turns up the music louder than how it was in the editing software I use which is a constant struggle haha
