Walter’s Plate
The Great Hospital at Bishopgate, North East of the Cathedral, is an Almshouse founded in 1249 by Bishop Walter de Suffield that has cared for the citizens of Norwich for over 750 years.
The group of buildings includes a church, cloister, medieval refectory, and a Victorian hall. It has now been decided to open these to the people of Norwich and, in the process, raise funds towards the upkeep of these magnificent buildings.
I am many things - a life coach, a diversity champion, a freelance writer and translator, a dog lover, a citizen of the world, etc - but never thought of myself as a photographer. Norwich inspires me to capture snapshots of this fine Norman city. Take a trip down Norwich lanes or enjoy a walk in the park with me.

Great shot. Wonderful that an institution could last and help people for so long!
Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog.

Thanks, Northbay! Norwich is filled with caring organisations. In fact the voluntary sector is so alive and active!
