A surviving fragment of open space now surrounded by suburban Norwich. "In Tudor times, Mousehold Heath stretched as far north as South Walsham and was 22 miles round. The surviving remnant of the heath was given to Norwich City Council (then known as the local corporation) to look after on behalf of the citizens of Norwich in 1880." quoted from https://www.norwich.gov.uk/info/20006/sports_parks_and_leisure/1534/about_mousehold_heath
