Beneath the towering spires of Norwich’s Cathedral of Saint Patrick, secrets linger in the shadows of crumbling gravestones and cobblestone streets, waiting to be unearthed.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to unlock Norwich’s hidden stories—untold tales and silent scandals most visitors walk right past.

What desperate plea echoed from Nathaniel Backus House windows one stormy midnight? Which fiery meeting inside the Carroll Building nearly set the town aflame with rebellion? And why does a faded portrait in a forgotten hallway leave modern-day historians scratching their heads?

Follow twisting paths from cathedral steps to historic homesteads. Cross thresholds where ghosts of founders, outlaws, and visionaries once shaped the city you see today. Each stop peels back layers of intrigue, betrayal, and inspiration. By journey’s end, Norwich stands transformed—a city alive with mystery and memory.

Ready to reveal the stories hiding in plain sight? Press play and let Norwich speak.
