Edith Cavell - Modern hero and martyr
In some postings we have focused on the saints as examples of funerals and burials that have religious connotations. We have also referenced relics as an example of the bones and tissue of the dead being a desirable object to have around the living. However, the story of Edith Cavell gives us something of a modern hero and martyr from World War One. Edith Cavell is remembered in Norwich and is buried there at the rear of the Cathedral. perhaps in years gone by we would have seen a small chapel dedicated to her somewhere in this mausoleum of a building.
The grave of Edith is now covered in scaffolding due to building works on the cathedral although you can still see the care that it receives. Modern hero and martyr.

Saint Peter Parmentergate - Norwich
Saint Peter Parmentergate is a Church that I have not been in and I don't know how to gain entry. This is a massive pile of a building with a graveyard that has been scraped in favour of a municipal City park. The population of this City centre area has grown back with the redevelopment of King Street although the parish has gone with the present parish being found centred on Saint John the Baptist nearby. The parkland around the Church is maintained and available and I imagine that the Church is similarly maintained unlike the poor remains of Saint Etheldreda so badly treated by the artistic community of Norwich.

Saint Julian - Norwich
The Church of Saint Julian in Norwich is a real jewel of the Anglican denomination. An Anglo-Catholic shrine to a 14th Century mystic in the heart of Norwich. Even so, the Anglicans strive to diminish what they have and to take away the gloss of the ancient and antique. When I visited the Anglicans had managed to clear away the few monuments left in this small oasis and had put in place a rather sad lawn area in the cemetery that is hidden to the rear of the small building. The lawn is a nod in the direction of the quiet City space and in some ways we should be grateful that they have this in the middle of a new and rather expensive housing development. I'm not sure that the locals take up the offer of a service at Saint Julian's although I'm sure that the local indigents do take up the offer of privacy from the prying eyes of Norwich. Saint Julian as a hospitaler saint would doubtless approve.

Saint Peter Mancroft -Norwich
Norfolk Annals 1809 |
"On opening a vault at the church of St. Peter Mancroft, Norwich, a live bat was found therein, of a greyish colour, where it had probably lain in a torpid state more than 32 years, the distance of time since the vault was before opened.”
