Shardlake’s journey to Kett’s Heights
St Matthew's Church, Telegraph Lane West, Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 4JA A 20 minute illustrated presentation in St Matthew's Church will trace the route of C.J.Sansom’s fictional lawyer, Matthew Shardlake, from Norwich Castle to Kett’s Heights. Followed by a guided tour of the Heights, Robert Kett’s HQ. Robert Kett and his 16,000 followers besieged the city from here in 1549 and you will be able to see for yourselves what a strategic position this was. Subsequently the Heights were bought by the 19th century gas company and the manager created steps and garden terraces on the steeply wooded slopes. You will be able to follow the labyrinthine paths and steps around the site until you reach the ruins of St Michael's Chapel where Kett set up his HQ, and the stunning panorama. Opening Times

Looking back 2018
The free guided tours that take place on the first Sunday of each month resumed on Sunday April 1st (Easter Sunday) and ended on 7th October with another sunny day and over 20 people attending. We had another successful Get Creative day on Saturday 23rd June (we all had a fun time) and the Crude Apache's musical show 'At the Turning of the Tide' on July 15th was excellent. Unfortunately the 'fun' dog show on July 28th had to be cancelled due to the extremely hot weather. Heritage Open Days in September were also very well attended.
We are always searching for new events so if you have any ideas that you think would be suitable for Kett's Heights please let us know. The lower green area is perfect for small events/shows etc. If you are looking for a suitable (and free) venue to put on a small event or performance then please contact us using the form on our contact page and we will discuss your proposals with you.
