Norwich Mint

Norwich stands as a historic cathedral city and the county town of Norfolk, England, situated by the River Wensum. This significant urban centre, located about 100 miles north-east of London, was once among England's most prosperous and expansive towns.
For a considerable period stretching from the medieval era up to the cusp of the industrial age, Norwich held the position of the second largest town in the country, surpassed only by London. Today, it remains the most significant settlement within the East Anglia region, serving as the ecclesiastical seat for the Diocese of Norwich.
