Strangers' Hall
A merchant’s house museum dating back to the 14th century, with rooms arranged by period from Tudor to Victorian times, showing how Norwich residents lived at home.
Strangers’ Hall is one of Norwich’s oldest houses, dating back to around 1320. Wealthy merchants and mayors lived here over the centuries. Its name may come from the “Strangers,” Dutch and Flemish weavers who settled in Norwich in the 16th century. The rooms are furnished for different eras, including a Tudor great hall, a Georgian dining room and a Victorian toy collection. It is open only on certain days each week, admission is charged, and it’s best to check opening times in advance.
