Sewell Park, Norwich

Sewell Park is a triangular green space in Norwich positioned between Constitution Hill and St. Clement's Hill with diverse specimen trees including London Planes. The layout features open grasslands and designated play areas for children throughout the site.

Members of the Sewell family and former mayor E. G. Buxton donated this land to Norwich Corporation in 1908. The gift ensured the green space would be preserved as public land for the community.

A horse trough at the entrance honors Anna Sewell, author of Black Beauty, and her family members who shaped the park's identity. This connection to the writer remains central to how locals understand the place.

The park is easily reached on foot from the city center with clear walking paths throughout. Trees provide shade and there are benches for resting while exploring the grounds.

From the upper areas of the grounds, visitors can see the spires of several Norwich churches and the city hall clock tower rising above the skyline. This viewpoint connects the green space to the historic center of town.
