It is a sometimes forgotten fact that Norwich has two cathedrals. St. John the Baptist’s Cathedral stands on one of the highest points in Norwich on Unthank Road and is an imposing sight. The building work on St. John’s was started in 1882 and financed by Henry Fitzalan Howard, the 15th Duke of Norfolk, who offered the money as an act of his thanksgiving for his happy marriage to his wife, Lady Flora. She is even commemorated in the St. Joseph’s Chapel where each window depicts one of her names.
