Norwich Over the Water history

---

Anglo-Saxon period

Saxon burial remains and funerary items were found on the district’s Eade Road, indicating that the area was the site of an inhumation cemetery and cremations. Archaeological evidence also indicates that, being an Anglo-Saxon settlement and major trading area, Norwich Over the Water was defended against attack on three sides.

19th century

The area continued to be known as Norwich Over the Water until the expansion of the city past Magpie Road and Bull Close Road in the nineteenth century. In 1832, electoral reforms ended over 500 years of the name’s official usage. Many grand buildings, from Tudor to Georgian, were demolished and cleared around the main streets in the city centre.
