As the city’s civic society, The Norwich Society is an independent community-based charity, supporting the preservation, development and improvement of features of historic interest of our city. We also use the expertise of architects, town planners, surveyors and other industry professionals within our committees to comment on significant planning decisions in the area on behalf of the public. And we encourage exploration and enjoyment of Norwich’s history through a range of talks, walks and other events, as well as regular publications.
From saving the historic Elm Hill area from demolition in the 1920s, to recent advocacy for better development of the Anglia Square site, we’ve been championing the built environment and public spaces in Norwich and celebrating the city’s unique character and beauty since 1923.
Our Charitable Objectives are:
- To encourage public interest in and care for the beauty, history and character of Norwich and its surrounding
- To encourage the preservation, development and improvement of features of general public amenity or historic interest in Norwich and its surroundings
- To encourage high standards of architecture and town planning in Norwich and its surroundings
