History of the Site Part of the building now called the Charing Cross Centre dates from the fifteenth century and was probably the home of John Marsham, Mayor of Norwich in 1518. The Cedars Suite and main entrance comprise what was his house. The current reception area was once a courtyard known as Boswells Court, which was reached by a passage which is now the Resources Centre. The Lounge and Study were cottages which looked into the courtyard. The Norwich Directory for 1896 records that Charles Dennes "perambulator and rocking horse manufacturer" lived and worked here and it remained Dennes Home Furnishers until the 1950's. During the 1982 renovation several earlier footings were found beneath the ground floor and there were four wells.

The Charing Cross Centre is an ideally situated venue in the middle of Norwich for conferences, meetings, training courses or seminars.
