ANGLO-SAXON NORWICH
Norwich started as a small Anglo-Saxon settlement north of the river Wensum in
Norfolk. In time it grew into a town, perhaps because of its situation on a river. (In
those days it was much cheaper and easier to transport goods for sale by water than by
land). It became known as North Wic (wic is an old word for port and Norwich was an
inland port). The name Norwich first appears on a coin minted in the early 10th
century.
NORWICH IN THE MIDDLE AGES
By the time of the Domesday Book, in 1086, Norwich was one of the largest towns in
England with a population of about 6,000. Although that seems tiny to us settlements
were very small in those days, a typical village only had 100 to 150 inhabitants. In
Norwich, as in most Medieval towns, the main industry was the manufacture of wool.
First it was woven then it was fulled. That means the wool was cleaned and thickened
by being pounded in a mixture of water and clay known as fuller's earth. The wool was
pounded by wooden hammers worked by watermills. Afterwards it was dyed.
 Norwich City Football Club (also known as
The Canaries or City) is an English professional
football club based in Norwich, Norfolk. The
club currently plays in the Championship, the
second tier of English football, having been
relegated from the Premier League in 2016.
They were first promoted to the top flight in
1972. Norwich have won the League Cup twice,
in 1962 and 1985. The club has never won the
top flight, but finished third in 1993.
The club was founded in 1902. Since 1935,
Norwich have played their home games at
Carrow Road and have a long-standing and
fierce rivalry with East Anglian rivals Ipswich
Town, with whom they have contested the East
Anglian Derby 134 times since 1902.
