St Peter
Mancroft
Church

Wandering around Norwich, you’ll notice you’re never too far off from a church. Out of the fifty-seven churches in Medieval Norwich City, only thirty-one of them still exist. One of them, is St Peter Mancroft Church. 

 

St Peter Mancroft Church has stood in the heart of Norwich for almost 600 years, a place of prayer and sanctuary, and from the top of the tower you can see the whole city. The church's impressive tower, which stands at 50 meters (160 feet), is one of the tallest in Norfolk. The church has fourteen Whitechapel bells, the oldest of which added in 1775 and the newest in 1997
