Installation of the Bishop of Norwich - the Procession in the Nave of Norwich Cathedral, 1850. 'On Thursday week (January 24), the solemn inauguration of Dr. Hinds, the sixty-fourth Bishop of the diocese, and the thirty-third since the Reformation, took place at the Cathedral in Norwich. The ceremony excited considerable interest; St. Peter's Church bells rang joyously until morning, and the attendance of the clergy was very numerous...The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean, on behalf of the clergy, read an address, congratulating his Lordship on his arrival upon the scene of his episcopal labours; and, after referring to the late excellent Bishop, wishing his successor long and happily to preside over the diocese'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
