THE EDITH CAVELL STORY
A Norwich Pub in the Heart of Tombland
Nestled in the historic quarter of Norwich, The Edith Cavell is a pub with history, heart, and a modern twist.
Named after the city’s wartime heroine, Edith Cavell, our pub has long been a favourite in Tombland.
Edith Cavell was a pioneering British nurse known for her compassionate work with soldiers of all sides during World War I and for helping over 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium.
Arrested and charged with treason by the German military, she was executed by firing squad in Brussels on October 12, 1915, becoming a wartime martyr whose story fueled Allied recruitment efforts.
Her famous final words, “Patriotism is not enough; I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone,” exemplify the compassion that defined her life and legacy.
