The Ecclesiastical Arms "Variant" of De Spencer as used by the Bishop in Norwich. |
The writer "Max De Vermandois" spent some years living and working (and regulalry attending church) in Norwich and its fine Norman built Cathedral there. Stone was actually Quarried and brought "over the Norman Sea (Old name for the English Channel in those times) and along a secialy dug Canal at "Pulls Ferry" on the River WENSUM. A Monastic Abbey Foundation was established in norich, close by to the site today occuppied by the cathedral "Close" Houses, and the finish of the Norman Canal. "Tomb land" (original Normano british disambiguation for "tum land) or "market Place area) in Anglo Norman, is named after the Norman market which once stood on the site. The Norman KEEP or Square walled castle still stands in the City Centre, and is open today to the public as a Museum. Norwich was once immortalized by the "Tumland tales" series of outdoor theatre Spectacles, organized by Norwich Outdoor Theatre team of "Crude Apache Theatre Company" led and organized by a one time friend of the Author, the late Miss Fiona Mitchell. And yes, once again, some of my early Norman britian ancestors were connected to the City of Norwich. In later generations, this also included "de Perche" which was Disambiguated into local speech as Percy or "De Percy". |
