About

The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell (formerly the Bridewell Museum) is a Grade I listed building and museum of the social history of the city of Norwich, England, located next to St Andrew's Church. Constructed in the 14th century, it began as one of the grandest medieval residences in the city, particularly for William Appleyard, the first Mayor of Norwich. In 1585 it opened as a house of correction known as the Bridewell, was a factory from 1828, and became a museum after its donation to the city in 1923.
