Herb Garden July 2020
The Friends of Kett's Heights practical group have been working for some time now planting a herb garden behind the upper meadow. We've just finished repairs to the enclosing wall and the building of a brick seat where people can go to relax and enjoy the garden. Many thanks to our 'builder', David Howarth and herb garden workers Jane & Kath.

Do you remember the recent gas repair work that's been carried out over the last couple of months? It took longer than anticipated due to some technical problems that arose and resulted in Kett's Heights having to be closed for awhile. It also resulted in a large hole that necessitated the removal of a lot of our snowdrop bulbs that we had planted in the last year or two.
Cadent Gas, who operate and maintain the largest natural gas distribution network in the United Kingdom, have recognised the disruption caused and very generously given us a grant of £500 to purchase more bulbs to replace those that were lost. So many thanks to them for this donation! |

The Friends of Kett's Heights were delighted to receive a commendation in the Community category of the Norfolk Design and Craftsmanship Awards 2019. We were runners up to award-winning social housing, Goldsmith Street, so it was a bit of a David and Goliath situation, and Goliath won on this occasion - and deservedly so.

Autumn 2019
Successful grant bid
As many residents will be aware the gas holders on Gas Hill have been undergoing demolition over the past year. That work is nearing completion but from the outset National Grid made it clear that they wanted to work with the community to minimise disruption and provide reassurances regarding safety. As a community based group we learned that National Grid also made grants available in areas where their work took place and we were encouraged to apply. This seemed like a good opportunity, and we put together a bid for £5000 to cover the cost of tree work at Kett’s Heights. This work will focus on trees that are causing structural damage to the Victorian terrace walls at many points across the site. In addition we have also identified a small number of trees that are reducing the panoramic visibility at the view-point. The majority of trees that are to be cut down are Sycamore and dead or dying Elm.
Monthly tours
Our final tour of the year was a complete wash-out. So far, no tour had been rained off since we started in 2016 so it had to happen one day. Paddy, Mike and Vanessa dutifully turned up at 2.30 in case any foolhardy folk wanted to experience Kett’s Heights in the rain but, thankfully, no-one did and we could scuttle home at 2.31.
Herb Garden
The herb garden within the walls of St Michael’s Chapel/19th century greenhouses is looking really lovely thanks to Jane and Kath. David is also creating an attractive seat as a means of using up all the loose bricks that are lying around. Otherwise they tend to be used as missiles by energetic youths.
Repairing the panorama panel
Unfortunately, our panorama information panel was damaged by inappropriate use of loose bricks, but this has now been repaired and re-installed by Norman and David.

HODS Event (Sept 14th, 18th & 22nd)
We did really well with our new Heritage Open Day event, helped by lovely weather throughout. We had 112 visitors in total. Thanks also to Bridgid and the St Matthew’s church team for hosting and providing such lovey refreshments. And thanks, of course, to all of you who came along to the event! See gallery page for photos. Birds & Butterflies - One of our members recently conducted a survey of the birds & butterflies to be seen on Kett's Heights. Here are her results:-
"Altogether I counted 18 species of bird, which for a city site is good I think. I imagine there will be other species over the winter. I recorded: chaffinch, goldfinch, blue tit, great tit, long-tailed tit, robin, wren, blackcap, chiff-chaff, dunnock, blackbird, song thrush, jay, magpie, collared dove, wood pigeon, great spotted woodpecker, kestrel. There may be others you can add. There were 12 species of butterfly: large white, small white, green veined white, orange tip, holly blue, ringlet, meadow brown, gatekeeper, comma, red admiral, peacock, painted lady. Again, maybe you have seen others. We also have dragonflies & damselflies of course but I didn't get round to actually recording them, so they'll have to wait till next year!" If you visit and see other species not mentioned above then please let us know via our contact page and we'll add them to the list! Thanks. |

Summer 2019

Friday 30th August - Several volunteers from Norwich Fringe Project spent 4½ hours today doing brushcutting. They cut all the areas around the fruit trees they planted last year and also cleared an area further along the terrace, below the bend in the fence, and a similar area below the middle path which we had asked them to do following discussions we had about possible locations for more bluebell planting later this year. They raked up almost all the material they had cut and moved a lot of it off to the compost heap or other areas. They also raked the cuttings off the upper green, as Norse had been round yesterday to cut the grass, and did some strimming at the edges of the paths. Our thanks, once again, to the Norwich Fringe Project for their help.
Tuesday 20th Aug - Tree surgeons were working on a dangerous tree on the lower path. Unfortunately, this was found to have roots in the proximity of the high pressure gas pipe that runs adjacent. Work was been suspended whilst this problem was resolved and the site was closed until Wed 28th August

We recently suffered some vandalism to the notice board at the entrance to Kett's Height and to the hand rails on the steps leading up from the lower path. We repaired the notice boards (thanks Peter!) and Norwich City Council made an excellent job of repairing the railings.
We had 24 people attend the free guided tour on Sunday August 4th. A good turn out and a lovely day. |

Local artist Mike McEwan has designed a Christmas card which he hopes will be sold by Norwich cathedral later in the year. This is based on a photograph of the cathedral taken from the viewpoint on Kett's heights. We'll let you know when/if it becomes available.
click on image to enlarge The first free guided tour of 2019 took place on Sunday 7th April. It poured with rain in the morning but, fortunately, dried up a bit in the afternoon allowing the tour to go ahead. Twenty one brave souls turned up and enjoyed (we hope!) the tour. The view wasn't too great as it was very misty. Hopefully, it will be better weather for the next tour on Sunday May 5th!

Practical Work - Wed. Feb. 21st
In association with NCC and their chain saw and brush cutter, we cleared the terrace between the two greens and cleared up the mess. A nice bonfire kept us warm on a chilly, miserable morning. Plans are afoot to plant about 20 new fruit trees next month!

New committee for 2018
At the Friends of Kett’s Heights AGM on 6th February a new Executive Committee was elected. New events programme for 2018 Do let us know if there are any events or activities you would like to see on Kett’s Heights. We are aiming to repeat the free monthly tours and organise a get Creative Creatures Day, possibly combined with a community picnic. Have a look at our Annual Review for 2017 on our home page to see the full account of what we have done in the past. We would love to host more theatrical performances but this depends on theatre groups being willing to visit us. You can also check out the site Management Plan currently in preparation with the City Council. |

Sunday 8th October saw the start of our Winter Litter Patrol schedule. This means that from now until the end of March 2018 we only patrol for litter every other day instead of every day. Generally, there is a lot less litter in the Winter months but it still accumulates. Please remember to use the bins or take your rubbish home. If you exercise your dog on the Heights then please clear up after it. Many thanks.
Wednesday 4th October saw us planting another 1500 snowdrops either side of the pathway leading up to the heights and 150 crocus bulbs under the apple tree on the lower green. Hopefully, we'll see some results next Spring! It'll be a few years before they look as good as the pictures below but we live in hope!

The last free guided tour of the 2017 season took place on Sunday October 1st and was well attended. No more free tours now until April 2018.
September 2017
The Friends of Kett’s Heights ran tours on all the Heritage Open Days – 7th-10th Sept – and attracted over 145 people. Others came under their own steam and we were visited by another Flintspiration Church Run, so Kett’s Heights was very busy. Visitors really appreciated the work that the Friends have done and spent some time admiring the view and encouraging us to lower the tree canopy even further so they could see all the way round. This will require the Council to provide specialist tree surgeons but we are hopeful more work will be done. www.kettsheights.co.uk/gallery.html
Family trail
We created a Family Trail round Kett’s Heights for Heritage Open Days and this will shortly be available to download on the website.

Wednesday 6th September saw us planting 1500 snowdrops either side of the pathway leading up to the heights. We will also shortly be planting a mixture of early flowering crocus under the apple tree on the lower green. This is just the start of a programme of bulb planting over the next few years that will also see the introduction of bluebells and aconites. We want to make Kett's Heights the "go to" place for Spring flowering bulbs in Norwich. Hopefully, in a few year's time, it will look like the photo opposite!

Brian Ayers led a fascinating tour for the Friends on Wednesday 14th June on a perfect summer’s evening. He took us round the sites and features that Robert Kett and his men would have seen when contemplating their attack on Norwich in 1549. We started at Bishop Bridge and looked at the remains of the 14th century gatehouse before moving to the Cow Tower. Both these defences were targeted and overrun by Kett’s followers. A pleasant stroll along the river looking at other medieval sites brought us to St Martin-at-Palace which features the oldest church wall in Norfolk. We ended up at the great Hospital where aged inmates could look through the east window at Kett’s Heights. See Gallery page for photos

Tuesday May 2nd we had a visit by pupils & staff from Bignold Primary school. Approx 60 children visited, in two groups, accompanied by teachers and TAs. They are learning about Kett's Rebellion at school at the moment, so were very interested to be at the location of Kett's headquarters. The view was well received, and the second group spent a bit of time sketching it. There's an idea that the children will be creating a Kett's Heights tour brochure, as a follow-up project, and they will share good examples of work with us, which we can upload to the website.

On 20th April a small group of keen birdwatchers gathered at 6.00am for a tour of Kett’s Heights led by amateur ornithologist, Chris Ash. Up to 19 species of birds were spotted or heard, including a rare mistle thrush. We even managed to catch a glimpse of one of the peregrines on the cathedral spire. See Gallery page for photos
Sunday April 9th saw the hottest day of the year so far 22C and it happily coincided with our Get Creative day which this year had the theme of NESTS. A great time was had by all involved and some very creative 'nests' were produced. There was also an amazing Pinata for the kids who had a great time bashing it to bits and eating the contents!

February 2017
The Kett's Heights Annual General Meeting took place in St. Matthews Church on February 7th where the attendees were treated to a review of the work carried out during 2016. All the members of the Executive Committee were re-elected to their posts. The evening ended with refreshments and a book/DVD & CD sale. On the morning of Wednesday 8th more practical work carried out on the Heights despite the very cold weather. The bonfire helped to keep us warm! More removal of ivy from some of the trees and all the paths and steps on site were swept. |

Castle fireworks, 4th November
Around 100 people came up to Kett’s Heights to watch the annual firework display from Norwich Castle. It was great to see so many people up there, including lots of teenagers and families with young children. The view was even better thanks to the work of Will Stewart and the Practical Works Group who had removed more of the encroaching foliage from the viewpoint. The litter picker on duty the next day reported that there was very little litter, which is very heartening. Let’s hope this becomes a popular annual event.

New nesting boxes
Thanks to a very generous donation of 4 x RSPB nesting boxes we now have some extra shelter for over-wintering birds and a place to rear their young in the Spring. Quite a challenge to install them going up a shaky ladder on a windy & rainy morning! See the installation work on our gallery page.
Railings!
Work on painting the lower path railings continues apace!

Magnificent success of Heritage Open Days, 8th – 11th September
The Friends of Kett’s Heights welcomed nearly 350 members of the public on our tours over Heritage Open Days, with people coming from all across Norfolk. We also had some people from Sheffield and Newcastle but we suspect they were visiting anyway!! We started and ended the tours at St Matthews Church, which provided a warm welcome and refreshments. Members of the Thorpe Hamlet History Group were also available to provide additional insights into the history of Thorpe Hamlet, and there were three PowerPoint presentations on Kett’s Heights, Thorpe Hamlet Then and Now, and Religion in Thorpe Hamlet. The event was hard work but more than fulfilled our aim to make Kett’s Heights better known and better used. See our Gallery for photos. http://www.kettsheights.co.uk/gallery.html
The Viewpoint sign installed
The new 'panorama' sign at the viewpoint was installed in early September and certainly enhances the site. The sketch of the view (drawn by a KH member) was transferred to computer after which the descriptive wording & QR barcode were added and then sent as a .jpg image to Admiralty signs for manufacture. A member of the practical group carried out the installation. See photos in the gallery page.

Friends’ noticeboard installed
A noticeboard to promote Friends activities and events has now been installed at the entrance to Kett’s Heights. It looks really smart and will hopefully attract people who have walked up and down Kett’s Hill for years and never known what Kett’s Heights was.

Kett’s Rebellion play took place on Kett’s Heights, Saturday July 9 A capacity crowd of 600 people over two performances were entranced by the Common Lot performances of 1549: Kett’s Rebellion. The lower green made a natural amphitheatre, although somewhat dark for the evening performance. However, that was forgotten when the beacon was lit for the first time since its inauguration in 1988. Check out our Gallery for photos and a video of the beacon lighting. Volunteers from the Friends of Kett’s Heights put in a lot of work to make the site as suitable as possible for a public performance and collected £187.55 in donations. It was good to be able to introduce so many new people to Kett’s Heights and see how well it operated as a performance space. |

Practical work : sweeping of paths, clearing of litter, repair of walls, cutting down dead trees in orchard, removing crossing branches from trees that have begun to sprout new growth, storing of wood for possible use in beacon lighting
We have been involved in discussions about: lighting the beacon (for possibly only the second time in its history) at the end of the Common Lot evening performance on 9th July; working with other organisations locally to arrange a varied programme of events and displays for Heritage Open Days in Thorpe Hamlet (8th to 11th September 2016). Welcoming people to Kett’s Heights : we have run tours on the first Sunday of April and May, and also staged a ‘Get Creative’ Day. In total over 150 people came along. |

The clearing of Kett's Heights viewpoint
The first major project took place on January 21st and involved The Friends who, working in partnership with Norwich City Council, spent the day vastly improving the vista from the main viewpoint. Four sacks of cans and bottles and a sack of other rubbish were also collected and removed from the slope .
February saw the Friends & personnel from the Community Payback scheme clearing all the site's pathways, emptying & clearing the pond, stripping ivy from trees, pruning and generally tidying up.
