Norwich (England) -- Directories
ST. PETER’S CHAPEL (Lady’s Lane), held by the Conference Wesleyans, was
built in 1824.
The PRIMITIVE METHODISTS have chapels in Heigham (St. Benedict’s Road),
Lakenham (St. Catherine’s Plain), Cowgate Street, and New Catton.
The FRENCH CHURCH, Queen Street—originally the parochial church of St.
Mary Parva, and afterwards a cloth exchange—was granted, in 1637, to the
French Protestant refugees. It is now leased to the receivers of the
doctrines enunciated by Emanuel Swedenborg, and the minister is the Rev.
David Goyder.
The FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, St. Michael at Plea, which is unconnected with
any particular denomination, was opened in 1852, upon its pastor, the
Rev. Joseph Crompton, quitting the Unitarians, of which denomination he
had been minister.
The JEWS—who were formerly very numerous in this city—have a handsome
synagogue in St. Faith’s Lane. Rev. S. Caro, minister.
THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF NORWICH
AND NEIGHBOURHOOD.
To Archæologists visiting this ancient city, and particularly to those
directing their attention to Monumental Brasses, the following list of
Brasses in Norwich and the principal villages in the neighbourhood, may
be considered useful. They are classified under their distinctive
characters, namely—1st, Ecclesiastics; 2nd., knights; 3rd., civilians and
ladies; 4th., miscellaneous. The list specifies those consisting of
effigies generally perfect, with their inscriptions, unless otherwise
mentioned.
