What reading level is Norwich And the Broads book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is known as the Old Palace, or Bishop Hall's Palace, for here for thirteen years lived Joseph Hall, the expelled bishop of Norwich, and here he died at the age of eighty- two in 1656. The poor bishop was still on sufferance in his palace near the Cathedral when the soldiery and mob set about the work of demolishing monu- ments and windows in the beautiful edifice. In one of his tracts Bishop Hall gives a moving picture of the fanatical zeal of the more powerful party: Lord, what work was h...ere; what clattering of glasses, what beating down of walls, what tearing up of monuments, what pulling down of seates, what wresting out of irons and brasses from the windows and graves, what defacing of armes, what de- molishing of curious stone work which had not any represen- tation in the world, but only of the cast of the founder, and skill of the mason; what toting and piping upon the destroyed organ pipes, and what a hideous triumph on the market day, before all the country, when, in a sacrilegious and profane procession, all the organ pipes, vestments, both copes and surplices, together with the leaden crosse which had been newly sawn down from over the green yard pulpit, and the service book and singing books that could be had, were carried to a fire in the public Market-place; a lewd wretch walking before the train in his cope trailing in the dirt, with a service book in his hand, imitating in an impious scorne the tune and usurping the words of the litany formerly used in the church.
