Bell Hotel, Norwich

Placeholder for Bell Hotel, Norwich blue plaque

The Bell Hotel With its origins in the late 15th century, the Bell (originally the Blue Bell) retains much of the character of an 18th century coaching inn. Its most notable associations are with 18th century and 19th century clubs including the French inspired Revolution Club (1793); the anti Methodist Hell Fire Club, which victimised Charles and John Wesley in 1754; the Eldon Club, which included the Duke of Wellington among its members; and a Lilliput Parliament for young people in 1837.
