Some of the things we have learned

I have learned about the Norwich wall and that the Castle and Cathedral were both Norman buildings. Most of the medieval population couldn't read so they had stories read to them excitedly. Some people believed the Norwich wall prevented fresh air from getting into the city, so they destroyed parts of it. There was lots of different types of trades then. Nowadays there's even more, but only a handful of the medieval ones.    Dan

What I have learnt is that Guildhalls are made by carpenters or engineers. Also that Norwich Castle was built for William the Conqueror. I also learnt that in the Keep it used to be a big dining room. Also that servants used to sleep in the room that the toilets, the dining room and the King's room was.    Ellie

Everyone was very religious and went to church. They lived in small towns and cities, guarded by a large surrounding wall. The Castle used to be much bigger, but only the Keep and sections of wall survive today.    Amelie

It was quite brutal because people were publicly executed.    Jonathan
