Ethelbert Gate

 
Ah, but now back to Norwich where I happened to explore one of the main gates to the cathedral close after returning from visiting the Julian Shrine. Fascinating bit of history took place here. Seems as if tensions could sometimes run rather high between the townsfolk and the cathedral's monks. So much so that the Ethelbert Gate was ordered to be built by King Henry III and completed around and about 1325.

  1. Admiro el arte que tiene esa puerta, con tantos adornos y de apreciable blellleza.
    Que tengas un buen día.
