Philip Pullman, author of the His Dark Materials trilogy, was born in 1946 in the medieval city of Norwich.

It used to be said of the city of Norwich that it had a church for every week of the year and a pub for every day. Nowadays, however, many of the remaining churches have other uses, and the city is host to far fewer watering holes.

Based at Caistor St Edmunds, a few miles south of present-day Norwich, the Iceni were a Celtic tribe whose warrior queen Boudicca led a failed uprising against the occupying Romans, during which the towns of Londinium (London), Camulodunum (Colchester) and Verulamium (St Albans) were sacked.
