Norwich Cathedral: Everyday stories in the bosses

Norwich Cathedral has more stone bosses in its roof vaulting than anywhere else in the world. Some tell stories from the Bible, some depict saints, some plants and animals and so on.
This talk will give you the chance to see ordinary people and stories which are found in the bosses of the nave and the cloister. The nave bosses date from the late fifteenth century and those in the cloister are even earlier. Amazing that they are still with us today.
