St. Margaret-de-Westwick

We both slept in a bit this morning—for who knows what reason—but soon we were off to Norwich (pronounced \nor-ich\). Our first medieval church stop along St. Benedict’s Street was St. Swithin, which was rebuilt in the fifteenth century, but we could not get in because some musicians were using it for a recording session. But we did notice the interesting obsidian-like stone that it and many of the other churches were made of. We soon moved on to St. Margaret-de-Westwick along St. Benedict’s Street, existed in the fifteenth century. The church is now being used as an exhibition hall, presently displaying a variety of nude drawings. This window depicts St. Margaret but is not medieval.

  1. Folks in the know around Norwich, NY pronounce it the same way! We were told that when we moved to the area. There is actually a Norwich society where they all go visiting the Norwichs in the US.
