Book excerpt: Excerpt from Norwich Early Homes and History I am sure every one agrees that Norwich, which in the old Saxon tongue means North Castle, is a most picturesque and interesting city. In some of the old records it is called "New Norwich," having been named, it is pleasant to think, in loving memory of the old home in England. There has always been some controversy as to the true pronunciation of the name; it has been called, Norich, Norwich, Norwidge, and Norridge, and even the old nursery rhyme, "The man in the moon came down at noon To inquire the way to Norridge, The man in the south burnt his mouth Eating frozen porridge," has'nt been able to settle the matter. It is something of a problem to decide when our city is more beautiful; in the spring, when nature, springing into life, is putting forth her tender greens and the high hills are a mass of feathery beauty, or, in the autumn, when in her maturity she retires in a blaze of glory, the maples, beeches and other foliage vicing with each other in gorgeousness of coloring. Norwich stands almost aggressively between the arms of the Thames, (the Yantic and Shetucket rivers), and with its bold landscape possesses unusually diversified scenery. The sail up the Thames is delightful; the hills crowned with forests and sloping to the water's edge form an almost unbroken frontage of green, reflected in the placid water beneath, and the homesteads scattered along its banks add a touch of life and give charm to the scene.
