St. Julian's Church

Little is known about the origins of St. Julian's Church, as the original building was largely destroyed in 1942 during the "Norwich Blitz". The present church is a restoration completed in 1953. However, the church is famous for having been the place where Lady Julian (1342 - 1416) stayed most of her life as an anchoress. During her confinement in the church, she wrote the "Revelations of Divine Love", the oldest book in the English language to have been written by a woman.
