Guest house linked to city pilgrim site to get a spruce up |
The All Hallows Guest House which is metres away from Julian of Norwich's cell on Rouen Road is to get a new sign.
It will be double sided and will project out into the street from the side of the guest house which offers those who come to see the shrine a place to stay.

Who was Julian of Norwich?
The church where Julian lived – St Julian's in Rouen Road, Norwich – is believed to attract pilgrims from all over the world.
The anchoress, who was also known as Mother Julian, became ill in the 14th century before she then experienced several visions.

Following her recovery, she dedicated her life to solitude and locked herself away in a cell attached to St Julian's Church.
During this time, she became the first woman to write a book, the Revelations of Divine Love, in English, which was based on the visions she had.
