| 説明 | While I was taking photos down St Andrews Street, we were trying to find our way to look at Norwich Cathedral.Last time I didn't take any Norwich churches, this time I took a lot of them!This is Armada House on St Andrews Street in Norwich.Garsett House dates back to 1589 and is also known as Armada House. This is founded upon a local tradition which says that timbers used in the construction of the building were salvaged from the ill-fated Spanish Armada off the Norfolk coast. On the south wall of the building is a plaster relief commemorating the event.In "English Heritage: Norwich", author Brian Ayers tells us "16th century buildings were sometimes adorned with carved wooden brackets as with the . . . sixteenth century example still in place on Garsett House".It is a Grade II listed building.Garsett House - Norwich, British Listed BuildingsHouse, now office. 1589 on bracket.
