Chapelfield Gardens is situated within 100 metres of the Theatre Royal in the very centre of Norwich. The gardens get their name because they were once the field of ST Mary’s Chapel when the city walls were built in the 14th century, hence Chapel Field. This has now become Chapelfield. In 1880 the present gardens were opened to the public. The gardens are now a wonderful meeting place in the city centre with a toddlers play area, giant chess, draughts and bandstand.
