ST. SWITHIN, Westwick Street, is a neat structure, with a square tower and three bells. During the cleansing of the church in 1834, an ancient portrait of Edward the Confessor was found nailed under one of the seats, where it is supposed to have been placed for security during the civil wars. The altar-piece is a painting of Moses and Aaron. On the font are carved emblems of the Trinity, Eucharist, and the Passion, with the arms of East Anglia. Here are also three stalls. The living is a rectory in the gift of the Bishop of Norwich. Rev. C. Day is the rector.

DISSENTING CHAPELS. The leading denominations of Dissenters have commodious places of worship, some of which, on the score of antiquity, or of modern architectural merit, are not undeserving attention. The OLD MEETING HOUSE, in St. Clement’s, was erected in 1693, and belongs to the _Independents_. Its first pastor, Bridge, seceded from the Establishment in the reign of James II., and sat in the Westminster Assembly of Divines. It is a large building of red brick, fronted with four Corinthian pilasters. It will afford accommodation for about 700 persons. There are spacious School-rooms connected with this building, in which a large number of children are educated upon the British system. PRINCE’S STREET CHAPEL (_Independent_) was built in 1819. It is a building of white brick, with boldly-displayed cornice and pediment, and a Grecian Doric portico of four columns. It will accommodate upwards of 800 persons.
