Norwich is a university and also cathedral city with manufactures which include footwear, silk, electrical equipment, and mustard. Educational institutions here include the University of East Anglia (1964), the Norwich School of Art (1846), and also a grammar school dating from the mid-16th century. Main one of the city's many distinctive ecclesiastical structures is a cathedral, begun in 1096, that is almost wholly Norman in style. Norwich was founded around Saxon times and received its first charter in 1158. Flemish immigrants introduced the wool-weaving industry in the 14th century, and the town stayed a prosperous textile center until the late 18th century.
