Excerpt from A General History of the County of Norfolk, Vol. 3: Intended to Convey All the Information of a Norfolk Tour, With the More Extended Details of Antiquarian, Statistical, Pictorial, Architectural, and Miscellaneous Information From ancient mss. We are informed, that a large arm of the sea flowed u to Norwich till the time of William I. For at that eriod, e river on wh stands was, by sands, ivided into two large channels, and one of these being afterwards choked, by a similar cause, the waters were obstructed from flowing regularly over the marshes be low Norwich, as they had previously done. Mr. Robberds, in his very ingenious F'say on the Eastern Valleys of N or folk, attributes the decrease of water to the depression of the waters of the German Ocean. This h pothesis has been ably met by Mr. R. C. Taylor, (late 0 Norwich). See the several works of these authors. The sea thus im peded, and the lower part of the bed of the river becoming dry ground, occasioned the building of Yarmouth. There exists positive evidence of Norwich being a fishing town in the reign of C'nute, for Alfric, bishop of East Anglia at that time, having bestowed his Bag}; by Norwich, (the ground on which the church of St. Lawrence afterwards stood), on the abbey of St. Edmundsbury, it paid an annual ground rent to that monastery of a last of herrings.
