ST. SWITHIN 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. Rev. R. C. Cavell, rector. The following are the churches in the hamlets of the city:— CHRISTCHURCH (New Catton), which is in the parish of St. Clement, was erected in 1841.
