The tower of a castle is the ancient signification of a town or village. Remains of Roman towers are still extant in the vicinity of Norwich, England. The present coat of arms of Norwich, England, displays a domed castle. Norwich, Connecticut, derived its name from this like-named town in England and was called Mohegan until 1662.
