Analysis of the north transept of Norwich Cathedral was prompted by archaeological recording of its northern external elevation. Here detailed archaeological and petrological evidence is presented, together with historical and visual sources for the functions and form of the medieval and post-medieval north transept, an area distinguished by its close spatial and iconographic links with the bishop's palace. A reconstruction of the Romanesque gable is presented, proposing a more elaborate treatment consistent with both the cathedral and castle at Norwich; further, it is shown that the two buildings were planned to share proportions of the elevation. Of considerable interest is the identification of Quarr stone in the primary build, refining our knowledge of the use, chronology and distribution of this stone. Evidence is considered for the repair programmes of the 18th and 19th centuries, elucidating attitudes to conservation and the organisation if building works.
