St Gregory's Church, Norwich is a Grade I listed redundant parish church in the Church of England in Norwich.[1]
The church, which stands between Pottergate and St Benedict's Street,[2] is medieval. The body of the church dates back to a 14th-century rebuilding, although the tower is older.[3] St Gregory's is noted for its wall-paintings, which include a depiction St George and the dragon at the west end of the north aisle.[4]
There is a public passageway under the chancel, which was rebuilt in 1394.[4] The west tower once had a lead-covered spire, bearing the date 1697,[5] but this was removed in 1840.[4]
Most of the stained glass dates back to the late 19th century, and was made by J and J King of Norwich.[3]
The building is managed by the Norwich Historic Churches Trust. After being made redundant as a parish church, it was used as an arts centre, which closed in September 2012. The following year it was leased out for use as an antiques centre.[2]
