Summary:
From the 11th to the 18th centuries Norwich was one of the great provincial cities if England. Even today it is the commercial and cultural centre for an area which extends beyond the county boundary. The medieval walled area is comparable in size with that of the city of London, measuring about 2.5 km from north to south and c. 1.5 from east to west. Its merchants, grown rich on British and overseas trade, purchased luxuries from many parts of the world. Throughout the centuries people from elsewhere in Britain and abroad, many of them refugees, have settled here, bringing their own skills and their cultural tastes. Inevitably many of the perishable luxuries have long since vanished – the silks, the tapestries, the fine wines, etc., though some have survived. The remains of less perishable objects, particularly pottery, have been discovered in excavations and on buildings sites.
This catalogue covers the large collections of pottery mainly from sites within the medieval city walls in the Norwich Castle Museum. Material from over 280 sites is included, some from archaeological excavations but the bulk being unstratified group from building sites.
