GEORGE BORROW'S NORWICH--THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL When George Borrow first entered Norwich after the long journey from Edinburgh, Joseph John Gurney, born 1788, was twenty-six years of age, and William Taylor, born 1765, was forty-nine.

Borrow was eleven years of age.

Captain Borrow took temporary lodgings at the Crown and Angel Inn in St.Stephen's Street, George was sent to the Grammar School, and his elder brother started to learn drawing and painting with John Crome ('Old Crome') of many a fine landscape.

But the wanderings of the family were not yet over.

Napoleon escaped from Elba, and the West Norfolk Militia were again put on the march.
