Life Thursday Doors

Thursday Doors Norwich

Her Majesty The Queen celebrates her platinum jubilee this week. This means the nation has two extra holidays. So I went to Norfolk, walking on the beach at Cromer in the bright sunshine and biting wind blowing directly from Siberia. Bracing is an apt description.

After eating dinner in an Italian trattoria in the centre of Norwich, I took a few photographs of the doors around the cathedral.

Hounds tooth decoration around the door. I like the fancy scrolling iron work

And this miserable excuse for a door is just around the corner from the main entrance to the cathedral. Suitable for a humble parishioners entrance? Remind me of the movie scene where Indiana Jones has to pick the cup used by the Jesus

The cathedral has a school for its choristers

The cathedral courtyard is very impressive and well worth a visit. More photos of secular Norwich next week.

Lovely city. Enjoyable photos. Norwich is supposed to have a church for every day of the year. Many are now redundant and have become art galleries, coffee shops, community centres and more. A glorious cathedral.

As you said for the caption of one door, these are magnificent doors, I love the stone entrances and the massive iron hinges. The doors themselves are works of art – except for that next to last one.
