Erpingham Gate is a medieval gatehouse located in Norwich, Norfolk, built in the early fifteenth century. Constructed of flint and stone, the structure stands as a fine example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture, featuring characteristic pointed arches and decorative detailing. The gate was erected by Sir Thomas Erpingham, a prominent Norfolk knight and military commander who served under Henry V, and it originally formed part of the entrance to the Cathedral Close. Today it survives as one of Norwich's most significant medieval monuments, demonstrating both the architectural sophistication and the patronage power of the Norfolk gentry in the later Middle Ages.
