Medieval Norwich and its Churches money to pay for the work came from the wealthy citizens of Norwich in donations and bequests left to the church in which Welcome to Medieval Norwich: A Fine City. For the first time they worshipped and were later buried. Several of these in its history, and under a new initiative led by the Norwich citizens became prominent Mayors of Norwich. Historic Churches Trust working closely with its heritage partners, Norwich is celebrated as a major medieval city In 1502, there were still 46 churches and chapels in Norwich through its historic churches. but the number was reduced during the Reformation of the 1540s when the city’s great priories were closed and sold - Norwich is a City of Churches. It has a collection of 31 and 14 churches were also closed. There were further church medieval churches, reputably more than any other city north closures during the late nineteenth century and four churches of the Alps, memorials in flint and stone to its rich heritage lost to bombing in 1942 (Sts Benedict, Paul, Michael-at-Thorn, and former position as the second city in the kingdom.

According to the Domesday Book there were between 49 and 54 churches and chapels in Norwich when it was compiled in 1086. Of these at least eight existed before the Norman Conquest but there were possibly many more – up to about 25. The pre-Conquest churches would have been simple timber buildings with a rectangular nave and a slightly narrower chancel. Being built of timber there is little surviving evidence of them. Many of the early pre-Conquest churches were lost as the Normans drastically changed the city landscape by building the castle, and the cathedral and by moving the old Saxon market place from Tombland.

By the mid-13th century there were around 60 churches and chapels, after then the number gradually declined. The 15th century witnessed a major programme of extension, alteration or rebuilding of the city’s churches which provided the legacy visible today. Almost all the churches were refurbished; in particular the naves which were the responsibility of the parish. Evidence of this can be seen today at St Peter Hungate, rebuilt by the Paston family during the 1460s and at St Gregory with its wall paintings of St George, considered some of the finest of their type in the country.
