The Archer goes on a Quest

Image
Since it was Saturday and I have been a good Archer this week by getting close to finishing two essays, I decided to take a day trip up to Norwich. I have read some stuff by the medieval anchoress Julian of Norwich, so I was curious if I could track her down. My quest began.I first came to the impressive Cathedral on Norwich. You can tell the Normans built it because it has that particular architecture all over it. Here is the inside near the organ. This was quite impressive. Here is the main area over the main altar. The stained glass was one of the most impressive I have seen. Notice the Romanesque arches. My quest for Julian of Norwich lead me to this altar at St. Peter Mancroft church, farther down from the main cathedral. Next I found myself at the Norman castle, not to be confused with an albino Borg cube. I walked down this street. There has to be a good story behind this street name. I walked past this pub, which has the second best pub sign I've seen. Nice iron mongery....
