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.

Reproduced with kind permission of Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery

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.
