Mortal Sin

Mortal sin may condemn a person to Hell after death, so you'd rather ask for forgiveness.

Despenser Retable

If you visit the chapels of the Norman cathedral in Norwich, you can be really suprised by the remarkable paintings your can see there from the 14th and 15th century. One of the most famous ones is this one, titled the Despenser Retable. It survived to the destrution of the Reformists disguised as a table. In the 19th century, someone happened to look under the table, so the painting was discovered.

The most impressive characteristic of this retable, which is named after Despenser, a bishop born in th 13th century, is its vivid red colour. Later on, in the 18th century, that colour made city dyers famous all over the world due to their use of that red in the production of shawls.

Briton's Arms

The city suffered a big fire in the 19th century. Only a few houses survived and this was one of them. This particular house is also a good example of the use of wire nets invented by Charles Barnad, here in Norwich, in 1844. From Norwich, wire netting expanded all over the world. Among many other uses, wire nets are used for preventing birds from stealing pieces of straw, reeds or any other dried vegetation the roof is made of. "Can you imagine a world without wire netting?" asked the guide who showed us the city.

Nowadys, Briton's Arms is a cosy and unexpensive restaurant.
