Norwich, a historic cathedral city, holds a significant place as the county town of Norfolk, England. Flowing alongside the River Wensum, it is situated approximately 100 miles north-east of London, making it a key settlement in East Anglia. The city's rich past saw it as one of England's most substantial and affluent towns for centuries, second only to London from medieval times until the dawn of the industrial era.

Today, Norwich continues to be the largest urban centre in East Anglia. It serves as the administrative heart of the local authority area, with its population showing a slight increase in recent years. The city is also the seat of the see for the Diocese of Norwich, reflecting its enduring spiritual and civic importance.
