Once the heart of Saxon Norwich, Tombland Alley was the marketplace and would have been full of hustle and bustle. The two splendid gates, Erpingham and St Ethelbert's lead out of the alley and date from the 15th and 12th century respectively. Some say that the alley is haunted by a girl stuck in Augustine Steward House which sits over the footpath. Her family died of the plague in the 16th century so the property was boarded up, except she was still alive. She starved to death and now haunts the spot of the tragedy.
