The Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell (formerly The Bridewell and the Bridewell Museum)[1] is a museum of the social history of the city of Norwich in England. Constructed in the 14th century, it was one of the grandest medieval residences in the city.[1] Located next to St Andrew's Church, it is a Grade I listed building.[2] Over its history, it has operated as a residence, a house of correction, and a factory.
