FOXLEY SOCIAL CLUB – Talk on Norwich Cathedral

                On Wednesday the 12^th April the club had Mrs. Barbara Miller come to give us a talk with slides on Norwich Cathedral.  This was a speaker in top form.  With all the confidence and authority of an Oxford don, she imparted to all who were there her knowledge and her enthusiasm for this politically and architecturally intricate subject.  The whole history of the cathedral, which began with William the Conqueror, was unfurled for us with pace and clarity, evoking alternatively amazement and admiration for the skill and ingenuity shown in those far-off-days for such a major feat of construction.  (Contractors for the Wembley Stadium bow your heads!)

                Her slide show which followed—and here again the quality of her photography was way above the usual amateur standard---showed the more intricate and less accessible parts of the cathedral in all their coloured glory.   It was made very apparent to us that the cathedral reflected the great importance and wealth of Norwich at the time.  Thank you Mrs. Miller for sharing some of your obviously great learning with us.      S.B.
