Welcome to the Norwich Society
The Norwich Society invites you to join us in caring for this fine old City.
George Borrow (1803-1881), born in Norfolk but a wide-ranging traveller, lived here and wrote of Norwich that it was “a fine old city…view it from whatever side you will”.
The Norwich Society aims to keep it that way by championing the best buildings from the past and promoting the best architectural design and planning for its future.
We do this by:
Watching planned city development to encourage the highest possible standards
Identifying planning and development needs and arguing for them with the relevant authorities
Gathering evidence of problems and concerns and making the case for change
Explore our Website to see who we are, what we do, and how you can join in our work. We also publish a regular newsletter which can be viewed here.
