I
speak
to
when
in
Norwich
normally
head
for
the
Norman
Cathedral
in
the
centre
but
miss
this
probably
lesser
known
gem
.
The
Catholic
Cathedral
of
St
John
the
Baptist
is
a
surprisingly
Victorian
built
masterpiece
designed
by
one
of
the
Gilbert
Scott
crew
.
Designed
by
George
Gilbert
Scott
Jr
and
financed
by
the
15th
Duke
of
Norfolk
Henry
Fitzalan-Howard
as
a
gesture
of
thanksgiving
for
his
first
marriage
I
simply
love
this
place
.
The
Duke
also
financed
the
equally
splendid
Arundel
Cathedral
.
An
in
my
mind
amazing
crucifix
hangs
from
the
ceiling
and
paintings
of
three
East
Anglian
Saints
,
St
Edmund
,
St
Felix
and
St
Etheldreda
grace
the
walls
.
During
WW11
severe
damage
was
miraculously
avoided
when
a
bomb
exploded
nearby
.
On
the
perimeter
you
will
find
I
believe
12
consecration
crosses
count
them
yourself
I
probably
missed
some
.
From
the
bottom
of
Grapes
Hill
you
get
an
amazing
view
at
Sunset
.
If
ever
you
find
yourself
in
Norwich
you
would
be
mad
not
to
visit
both
Cathedrals
and
of
course
the
Castle
.
I
am
sure
you
will
love
them
.
God
please
help
Tilley
I
was
too
weak
to
