Norwich Castle Restoration Unveils True History of Dungeons
A significant restoration project at Norwich Castle has revealed new insights into the history of its dungeons. Contrary to popular belief that the dungeons were used for torture, recent findings suggest they served as holding cells for men, women, and children awaiting trial, execution, or deportation. The conditions were reportedly grim, with overcrowding and disease being rampant, and water often covering the floors. This revelation is part of a £27.5 million restoration and rebuild program aimed at preserving the historical integrity of the 900-year-old castle.
