Norwich Historic Churches Trust
Welcome to Norwich Historic Churches Trust
This Norwich Historic Churches Trust site provides architectural and historical details of all 36 Norwich Medieval Parish Churches and the Norwich people celebrated by their church monuments, together with educational material and visiting information.
New Release of Web site:
We have completed the listing of all of the sculptured wall memorials. They can be found under each church or by visiting the memorials page.
Included are the biographies of people who made Norwich the city it is today. Find out more about these historical characters by visiting the timeline.
The Berney Monument in St Peter Parmentergate has been beautifully restored. To see early photographs of the restoration click here
New Stained Glass Web site:
Our new website featuring Norfolk Stained Glass has just been released. Although far from complete we believe there are some stunning images on this site well worth your visit. Click here
At present Norwich monastic churches and medieval churches outside the old City walls are not included, neither is the largest church of all - Norwich Cathedral.
Norwich has the largest number of medieval parish churches of any city in northern Europe. The majority of these are in the care of the Trust as they are no longer used for worship.
This web site not only provides information about the Trust and the eighteen churches in its care but also the three in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, the nine living churches, the one in private ownership and 5 which are in ruins.
With the information provided, visitors to Norwich can plan their visits better and those not yet planning to visit our city will hopefully be encouraged to consider a visit.
