ALL SAINTS, a small structure, with a square tower and three bells,
contains an antique font with curiously carved figures of St. Paul and
other apostles. The living is consolidated with St. Julian, and the
joint benefices were returned in 1831 at £246 per annum. The Rev. T.
Gurney is rector.
ST. ANDREW, next to St. Peter Mancroft, the finest church in the city—was
rebuilt in 1506. The font is massive. In the north aisle is a costly
monument, with effigies of Sir John and Lady Suckling, of whom there is
an annual commemoration. The curacy is in the gift of the parishioners;
the Rev. A. C. Copeman was elected in 1857. Out of the proceeds of the
sale of the church ornaments at the Reformation, the parish paid £17
towards the repair of the gates and walls, and £20 to that of the Great
Hospital—both injured in Kett’s rebellion.
ST. AUGUSTINE, an unpretending edifice, with a tower and three bells.
Rev. M. J. Rackham, rector.
ST. BENEDICT, a small building with a round tower. The parishioners are
the patrons; perpetual curate—Rev. W. Goodwin.
ST. CLEMENT, one of the most ancient fabrics in the city. In the
churchyard is the tomb of the parents of Archbishop Parker, rebuilt over
the original, in 1823, by Caius College; and also the “Leper’s tomb.”
Rev. R. Rigg, rector.
ST. EDMUND, a small structure, founded in the time of the Conqueror, has
a tower and one bell. Among the relics formerly preserved here, was a
piece of the shirt of St. Edward the King and Martyr, kept in a box of
crystal, and visited with great reverence. The Rev. G. B. Everett,
rector.
ST. ETHELDRED is a small fabric, with a short tower and one bell. In the
burial-ground was formerly an anchorage, which continued till after the
Reformation. Rev. J. Deacon incumbent.
ST. GEORGE AT COLEGATE is a large, handsome, gothic structure, rebuilt at
different periods, and has a lofty tower. In the chancel is a fine altar
tomb to Robert Jannis, a great benefactor to this church; and near it a
beautiful mural monument to John Herring, Esq. The window over the
communion table is of stained glass. In a vault is buried the elder
Crome, the distinguished painter, who died in 1821. The Rev. A. W.
Durdin, incumbent.
ST. GEORGE AT TOMBLAND consists of a nave, chancel, and side aisles, and
has a handsome square tower; it was erected by the parishioners in 1445.
In the interior are spacious galleries, and many monumental inscriptions.
Rev. K. Trimmer, incumbent.
