    Lollards Pit is a gay-owned and managed pub in Norwich. It attracts a mixed crowd. The pub itself is steeped in history. It was built in the 17th-century on Lollards Pit, a place of execution for heretics.

    These days, with the Wars of Religion long behind us, you're more likely to find people playing bingo over a pint.
