CONCISE HISTORY OF NORWICH. [49]
Its latitude, according to Sir Henry Spelman, is 52 degrees, 45 minutes, North: longitude, 1 degree, 19 minutes, East of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich:—It is 108 miles from London by Newmarket, 114 by Bury St. Edmund’s, and 110 by Ipswich and Colchester.
It is rather more than a mile and a half in length, from King-street-gate to Magdalen-gate; and a mile and a quarter in breadth, from Bishop’s gate to St. Benedict’s gate.
It has thirty-four churches, besides the cathedral, chapels, and dissenting meeting-houses; and is encompassed by a ditch, and the remains of a flint-stone wall, begun in 1294 and finished in 1310, which was flanked with forty towers, in the ancient method of fortification, and had twelve gates for entrances on all sides.
