The Georgianisation of buildings in Norwich

Sarah Edwards

The Georgianisation of Norwich – during the Georgian period (1714–1837) – saw a massive change in the architecture of Norwich with the construction of impressive new structures such as the original Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and the reconstructed Assembly House. The Georgian style was highly fashionable, but in many cases rather than construct new buildings, house owners simply applied a Georgian façade to their existing structure and so were able to appear fashionable at a reduced cost. This talk will examine some of these fascinating buildings.
