Detail, St Ethelbert’s Gate, Norwich Cathedral: 15 Oct 2021
St George features on St Ethelbert’s Gate at Norwich cathedral. The gate was built in 1316 after the previous was destroyed in riots.
I think this qualifies for A Long Time Ago, another title achieved from the list provided for #2021picoftheweek provided by Maria Antonia.

Such amazing craftmanship! And to think that it’s 700-some years old. Wow.

I think this more than qualifies for it! Amazing that it is still so sharp after all these years.

Lack of pollution. Norwich has never been an industrial city with factories powered by coal (not actually true, but it was very low key compared with elsewhere)

Isn’t it. Paid for by the people of Norwich… who, incidentally, had rioted and caused the destruction of the previous gate. So… penance.

I think they used the equivalent of pattern books and mixed and matched the details
