Norwich is a city on the River Wensum in East Anglia and lies about 100 miles north-east of London. Norwich is the regional administrative centre for East Anglia and county town of Norfolk.

Boudica a Norfolk Story (Offical Trailer)
A Pearly Oyster production commissioned by Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service and supported by the Arts Council of England.
Despite a gap of nearly two thousand years, Boudica remains at the forefront of the public imagination. Her story has been passed down the generations from the original writings of the Romans and she has been continually reinvented to serve as a woman of many times from Elizabeth 1st to Margaret Thatcher.
Set against beautiful watercolours of Norfolk, (Using found objects from Norwich Castle Museum and the banks of the River Thames, to create collage animation and characters.) Emma Calder's film looks at Boudica the woman, what motivated her to keep her freedom and what her story means to us now, that we know so much more about her and her people from very recent archaeology.
The film shows Boudica and the Iceni tribe and their rebellion against the Romans in first century Britain. The film contrasts the worlds of the indigenous Iceni people and their Roman Invaders.
In Boudica A Norfolk Story, The film contains all the key ideas from this most interesting period in British history whilst being attractive, playful and engaging for all ages.

Haunted History of :Burgh Castle
Burgh Castle is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated on the east bank of the River Waveney. Almost 2,000 years since it was built, three of the four imposing walls still stand, meaning Burgh Castle is one of the largest Roman structures in Britain, standing strong as part of a line of forts along what the Romans called the Saxon Shore
It is reported that once a year the sounds of clashing swords and screaming (in Latin and Anglo Saxon) can be heard near the castle.The castle is also said to be haunted by a figure with what appears to be “a white flag wrapped round it”, that is thrown from the ruins onto the foreshore.
Burgh Castle is the site of one of several Roman forts constructed to hold cavalry as a defence against Saxon raids up the rivers of the east and south coasts of southern Britain (the Saxon Shore). Possibly this was Gariannonum, a name that appears in a some sources; the identification was once thought secure, but is now thought doubtful by specialists. The fort is roughly rectangular, approximately 205 m (673 ft) by 100 m (330 ft), with three of the tall massively built walls still extant; the fourth fell into what was once an estuary but is now a marsh, Breydon Water.
Nearly every local group will have investigated it, collecting some sort of possible evidence. It also boasts different claims in different areas, which is great for multiple visits.

Other accounts of Paranormal activity over the years
Paranormal Account One:
Stalking around the ruin, close to the marshland, a large dog has been seen prowling when darkness falls. Some claim that it is a werewolf: one investigator witnessed a man morph into a fearsome dog-like creature at the site before padding off into the night. With a single eye that glows either red or green, the beast has been nicknamed Old Scarfe after Baron Rudolf Scarfe, a 13th-century villain who lived nearby – a German mercenary from the Harz mountains, he was excommunicated in his homeland and fled to the castle where he continued to lead a black-hearted life of depravity.
When he was finally killed, the Devil turned him into a huge dog and sent him back to earth to create further havoc.
Paranormal Account Two: Battle cries have been heard many times over the years. There is a date specific report of clashing swords and men screaming on the 27th April.
Paranormal Account Three: Apparitions have been seen throughout the ruin. A young boy wearing rags, a Roman solider, and a man who seems to be walking a dog have all been witnessed multiple times.
The site is owned by the Norfolk Archaeological Trust with the walls in the care of English Heritage. The site is freely open to the public and has a major access and interpretation scheme created by the Trust, with funding and collaboration from Natural England and English Heritage. There is a timber viewing platform overlooking the rivers and marshes which provides an ideal spot for wildlife observation.The walls are in excellent condition and are missing only the parapet that ran along the wall top and protected soldiers patrolling the wall.
Since William Camden, Burgh Castle has been suggested as the site of Cnobheresburg, the unknown place (a castrum or fort) in East Anglia, where in about 630 the first Irish monastery in southern England was founded by Saint Fursey as part of the Hiberno-Scottish mission described by Bede. Historians find many arguments against this location, but are unable to agree on a better one. The Roman fort at Burgh Castle was excavated by Charles Green during 1958-61. A detailed report by Norfolk Museums Service in 1983 (East Anglian Archaeology 20) shows that there was never any monastic settlement in Burgh Castle itself.
The Church stands near to the Roman fort and has a round tower
The church of Burgh Castle, St Peter and St Paul, one of 124 existing round-tower churches in Norfolk,Parish church. Late C11 west tower. Nave and chancel retain C13 character but remodelled C15. has been a Grade II* listed building since November 1954. Points of interest include a well-preserved 14th-century East Anglian Lion Font and some magnificent stained glass windows, especially the small lancet Fursey window. In 2015 the first stage of a major restoration programme, repairs to the north aisle, was completed. The church is open daily from 10am to 5pm April to October and at weekends from 10am to 3pm during March and Novembe

Thetford Priory, Norfolk....
Thetford Priory is a Cluniac monastic house in Thetford, Norfolk, England.
One of the most important East Anglian monasteries, it was founded in 1103 by Roger Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, and dedicated to Our Lady.
In the 13th century, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in a vision to locals requesting the addition to the site of a Lady Chapel. During its construction, the old statue of her on the site was discovered to have a hollow in its head concealing saints' relics, and became a magnet for pilgrims.
It housed the tombs of the Howard dynasty, of Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, and of other early Tudor Dynasty officials. Even this could not save the priory from the Dissolution of the Monasteries and, on its closure in 1540 (it was one of the last priories to be dissolved), the Howard tombs were removed to St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham.
Its ruins (including the lower walls of the church and cloister, along with the impressive shell of the priors' lodging and, reached by a pathway from the main site, an almost complete 14th-century gatehouse) are open to the public as an English Heritage site. They are reputedly haunted and was the subject of an episode of the television series Ghosthunters.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Maritime history of the United Kingdom involves events including shipping, ports, navigation, and seamen, as well as marine sciences, exploration, trade, and maritime themes in the arts from the creation of the kingdom of Great Britain as a united, sovereign state, on 1 May 1707 in accordance with the Treaty of Union, signed on 22 July 1706. Until the advent of air transport and the creation of the Channel Tunnel, marine transport was the only way of reaching the British Isles. For this reason, maritime trade and naval power have always had great importance.
Prior to the Acts of Union, 1707, the maritime history of the British Isles was largely dominated by that of England. (See Maritime history of England for more details.)
