ST. GILES, founded in the reign of William the Conqueror, by Elwyn the priest, who gave it to the monks of Norwich, was rebuilt in the reign of Richard II., and is now one of the handsomest churches in the city. The tower, 120 feet high, contains a clock and eight bells, and is surrounded by a cupola and battlement. The chancel has been demolished since 1581, when the dean and chapter, to quit themselves of the expense of repairing it, gave all the materials to the parish, for “a stock to be put out for the encouragement of poor trades.” There are many curious old brasses, and several neat mural monuments. Rev. R. Sedgwick incumbent. ST. GREGORY is a lofty gothic structure, consisting of nave, side aisles, and chancel, the latter built in 1395; since which, the whole pile has received many reparations. The font is very large, having an octagonal top, and on its eight sides the four evangelists, and figures emblematic of the four quarters of the globe. In the nave is a fine brass reading-desk, in the shape of an eagle with expanded wings. Among the monuments is one to Sir Francis Bacon, a Judge of the Court of King’s Bench, in the time of Charles II. Here are also some ancient brass inscriptions. Rev. W. R. Sharpe, incumbent. ST. HELEN—or the Great Hospital, previously mentioned as founded by Bishop Suffield, was originally built like a cathedral, in the form of a cross, with nave, tower, aisles, and transept; the tower is all that remains entire, but the cloisters are still almost perfect. The men’s apartments occupy the refectory and part of the nave and aisles, while the choir is appropriated to the women’s. Rev. W. F. Patteson, incumbent. ST. JAMES’ (with Pockthorpe), is a small building, rebuilt in 1743. The font has some fine panel carvings. Rev. J. Ross, incumbent. ST. JOHN MADDERMARKET, a handsome church, consisting of nave, side aisles, and a fine tower, was founded before the survey made in Edward the Confessor’s time. The lead was removed, and the roof covered with slate in 1835. It contains many ancient sepulchral inscriptions, with a few brasses and several neat mural tablets. Lady Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk (second wife of the duke beheaded in Elizabeth’s reign), died at the Duke’s Palace in 1563, and was interred with great pomp on the north side of the choir, where a mural monument was raised to her memory in 1791. Rev. J. Perowne, rector. ST. JOHN SEPULCHRE was founded before the Norman conquest. Rev. T. Calvert, incumbent. ST. JOHN AT TIMBERHILL, so called from the timber market formerly held on the plain adjacent, has a small wooden steeple, in place of the tower which fell down in 1784. Rev. S. Titlow, incumbent. ST. JULIAN, the smallest church in the city, and one of the oldest, was founded before the Conquest, and had an anchorage or hermitage in the churchyard.
