The Friends helps to fund the purchase, conservation and restoration of objects at Norwich Castle Musuem, the Museum of Norwich (formerly the Bridewell) and Strangers Hall. Its own history dates back to 1920 when John Henry Walter, a director of Norwich Union, realised that works of national and local importance were being lost to the people of Norwich and Norfolk because the city had no funds to buy them. He recruited others, including members of the Jarrold, Gurney and Colman families, who were equally keen to preserve important collections
