Part 3

The DUTCH CHURCH, in St. Andrew’s Hall, originally the Conventual Church of the Black Friars, was granted to the Walloon congregation; but they now have service only once a year, when a sermon is preached in Dutch and afterwards in English. The building is used as a chapel to the Workhouse, but it is expected that it will be occupied by the Free Christian Church when the New Workhouse, now being erected near the Cemetery, has been completed.

CALVERT STREET CHAPEL, built by the Wesleyans in 1811. Since the recent disruption in that body, it has been held by the Reformers, or United Methodist Free Church; as is also the case with NEW CITY CHAPEL, in Crook’s Place.

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.

An alphabetical list of the churches, with the various brasses in each, is also appended.
