Norfolk & Good Christmas Countdown 2025: The Christmas Ban
Christmas in Norfolk hasn’t always been plain sailing. During the English Civil War, the Puritan-dominated Parliament passed legislation to abolish Christmas and other religious festivals, viewing them as popish and an excuse for excess and immorality. A full ban on celebrations was enacted in June 1647.
Guess how Norwich reacted?
