<h3>IN-PERSON EVENT</h3><h2>In 1508 at least one major conflagration - if not two - ripped through the heart of Norwich, causing damage that still blighted the landscape thirty years later and inflicting widespread hardship. According to some estimates, it was the worst disaster in Early Modern England after the Great Fire of London in 1666, yet it remains one the most neglected events in Norwich’s history, having been consistently misdated to 1507.  Drawing on archaeological evidence and sources in the NRO, this talk examines the extent of the damage and the challenge faced by the authorities as they sought to rebuild a safer city.</h2><h3>All in-person events have been subject to a COVID risk assessment.
