Museum of Norwich

Be on your best behavior: this engaging little museum is set in a 14th-century house of correction. Displays here explore Norwich’s prominence as England's second city in the Middle Ages and its 19th-century industrial heritage. The museum was closed at the time of research, but set to reopen in 2021; call for the latest opening times and prices.

Look out too for the eccentric, snake-proof boot.
