Description
Ethelbert Gate is the southernmost gate of two main gates to Norwich Cathedral Close from Tombland and was built in about 1316 after the original gateway and the nearby church of St Ethelbert were destroyed in an uprising in 1272. Its sides are decorated in flushwork, a decorative technique developed in Norfolk. The decorative panels are often in a geometric design and the work on this gate probably represents the earliest known example of this technique.
