Norwich Whifflers

This webpage is still under construction.

The revival of the Whifflers as part of civic ceremonial began in 1996 ( approximately 43 years after their last appearance) and originated within the Norwich Society and supported by the then Lord Mayor, with the intention of preserving the heritage and old traditions associated with the civic ceremonies and office of the Lord Mayor of Norwich. One of the current Whifflers is a member of both the Norwich Society and Kemps Men of Norwich, another is the city Councillor Bert Bremner.

Friends of Norwich Museums paid for some of the costumes for use in the Museum by children, but as they are valuable they are seldom used. They are loaned to the Whifflers and Standard Bearers for civic occasions. The adult costumes were made locally and their costs were met by funds from a local charity.

More and better history to come.
