EDITORS COMMENTS
Tombland Alley, Norwich: A Glimpse into Norfolk's Rich Historical Past Step back in time as you wander through the narrow, cobblestone Tombland Alley in Norwich, Norfolk, England. This picturesque corner, now a quaint reminder of the past, once held significant historical importance during the tumultuous Tudor era. The imposing structure at the end of the alley is part of Augustine Stewart's House, a Tudor building that dates back to the 15th century. Augustine Stewart was a prominent figure in Norwich's history, serving as Deputy Mayor during the Ketts Rebellion in 1549. After the rebellion was quelled, Stewart went on to become the city's Mayor. The alley's name, Tombland, is a nod to the graveyard that once stood here. The graves, marked by weathered tombstones and grave stones, bear witness to the lives that once called this place home. The oldest known grave stone in the alley dates back to 1596, providing a tangible connection to Norwich's past. As you explore this hidden gem, take a moment to imagine the events that unfolded here during the 16th century. The Ketts Rebellion, a violent uprising against the established order, saw the city of Norwich under siege. The rebellion, led by Robert Kett, a local farmer, was a response to the enclosure of common land and the rising unemployment and poverty in the area. Despite the dark history associated with Tombland Alley, it remains a beloved and intriguing part of Norwich's rich tapestry. The alley's charm is further enhanced by its timeless beauty, which has remained largely unchanged since the 1950s. As you stroll through the alley, take a moment to appreciate the history that surrounds you and the stories that lie buried beneath the cobblestones.
