Get in to heritage this summer, from Suckling House to the Great Hospital

Join us this summer for a heritage extravaganza!

June 25th, The Intriguing Inhabitants of Suckling House and Cecily Steward's Tudor Norwich
Now a much loved cinema Suckling House has had a fascinating history of inhabitants since C13th. Come and hear about the building and its dwellers together with an adventure through the ups and downs of a Norwich known by one such dweller, Cecily Steward; merchant, scolder and independent lady indeed. With local historians Colin Howey, Jim Kavannagh and Roxanne Matthews.
Cinema City Education Space (meet at the side door on St Andrews Hill) 7-9pm. £8 Wine and nibbles included.

July 16th, The Delights of the Great Hospital with Professor Carole Rawcliffe 
A real treat on a summers evening; be taken around the spectacular Great Hospital by medieval scholar and specialist in the history of medicine professor Carole Rawcliffe. As if our speaker wasn't to dazzle us enough we'll have the delights of one of the best medieval wooden ceilings in Europe, a time capsule from the 70s and be swept through the smallest cloisters in England. A sell-out on Heritage Open Days don't miss this rare opportunity.
Great Hospital, Bishopsgate. 7-9pm £8 inc wine and nibbles 



August 21st, St Peter Parmetergate and a rare plaster tomb
With the best collection of churches in Europe it's no wonder that some are lesser known than others in the city. Nestled in the once bustling merchants' quarter of King Street is St Peter's, home now to a boxing club and to Michael Wingate, surveyor of the fabric for Norwich Historic Churches Trust. We'll sneak in through the side door after hours and marvel at one of the city's treasures with Michael as he guides he round.
St Peter Parmentergate, King Street. 7.30-9pm £8 inc wine and nibbles
