"Very welcoming and friendly staff and a beautiful interior, with intricate stained glass and several pictures around. Well worth a visit for anyone in the city!"
"The Roman Catholic cathedral of the city of Norwich, Norfolk, built in the 1800s with Victoria Gothic style. Located slight off the city centre and definitely walkable from the Norwich market. A really majestic church building and very well kept inside and out. There is a small exhibition display near the cafe about the church and how the glass windows are made. Worth a visit for sure."
"Norwich's lesser known Cathedral, but equally as beautiful. Holds a special place in my heart as it's where I got married. Stunning architecture. Free entry and includes a cafe and shop and small garden onsite. They also have a hall which I believe they hire out. Very peaceful and serene walking around and often beautifully decorated. Some good stained glass windows as well. There is a small car park on site which is free to use for visitors. Great place to visit on heritage open days as they usually do very informative tours, including Tower tours for fantastic views over the city. Highly recommend a visit."
"A lovely cathedral which had incense wafting through the doorway as l entered. Such a calming environment. This building is a little overshadowed by the large C of E Norwich cathedral. I would recommend seeing both as their architecture is incredible. Look up at the celings"
