Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England
Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England
Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery is currently in the process of delivering a NLHF funded redevelopment of the medieval castle spaces. This will result in the representation of the historical interiors of the 12th century keep on one floor and a British Museum partnership gallery exploring the medieval period (11th to 16th century) on another. Within the project development, the narratives in the medieval gallery are being approached thematically within the chronological period, dividing the display space into Those Who Work, Those Who Pray and Those Who Fight. The methodology behind this approach was to use a digestible social structuring, rooted within a contemporary historical understanding, which could provide a framework for exploring the intricacies and nuances of medieval society and how it changed over five centuries. Underlying the approach to the museum display was the opportunity to highlight the extensive archaeological collections of the Norfolk Museum Service, both excavated material and objects traditionally approached from an aesthetic art historical perspective, and showcase the research and scientific analysis underpinning current scholarship.

Baconsthorpe Castle|Norwich Castle[castle adventures]
Hello and welcome back to new castle adventure!
Short history about castles!
Baconsthorpe Castle
Ruined moated and fortified 15th century manor house.Built by the ambitious Heydon family between 1460-1486 as a simple manor house,it was later fortified and enlarged as the family's wealth grew.
It combined domestic with defensive elements,reflecting the fact that a castle-like appearance was considered a status symbol long after castles ceased to be built for defence.
After the English Civil War the house fell into ruin.
Norwich Castle
It was founded in the aftermath of the Norman conquest of England when William the Conqueror (1066–1087) ordered its construction because he wished to have a fortified place in the important city of Norwich.
It proved to be his only castle in East Anglia.The stone keep which stands today,was built some 60 years later.Used as a gaol between 1220 and 1887,the castle was bought by the city of Norwich to be used as a museum.
