There have been hundreds of notable people who impacted and helped form the Norwich that we know today. These “Norwich Notables” are but a few that have contributed from the years of 1659-1859.
In addition to the “Norwich Notables” discussed here, there a small number of elite individuals who have been designated, by Iconic Norwich.org, as members of the “Knights of Norwich” and the “Grande Dames of Norwich.” These community leaders furthered the advance of Norwich in the 1659-1959 time period. To qualify as a Knight of Norwich or a Grande Dame of Norwich, the person must have only lived before the year 2000.
