About

Mancroft ward lies at the historic centre of Norwich. The area is dominated by the large open space of the Market Place and the imposing Norwich City Hall. The medieval St Peter Mancroft Church stands adjacent to the market, its flintwork tower a prominent landmark. This central zone is a primary commercial and civic hub for the city, containing major shops, banks, and administrative offices.

The ward's boundaries extend to include the lanes and streets surrounding the market, such as Gentleman's Walk. The historic Norwich Market, with its rows of colourful stalls, operates here daily. The area's layout reflects its long history as a trading centre, with narrow alleys leading from the main square. The Forum, a modern cultural centre and library, is situated at the southern edge of the ward.
