2 - Trinity Church, Essex Street
3 - St Mary the Less, Queen Street
4 - Norwich Cathedral (C of E)
5 - St George's Tombland
6 - St Peter Hungate, Prince's Street

10 - St Andrews near Bridewell Alley
11 - St Giles, St Giles St (near top of Grapes Hill)

Amazing, we have a lot of churches in Norwich.

It gave me a surprise when I started marking them, I had no idea there were that many either !

[wendy]

we also had the most pubs in a city as well. !!

That's right Wendy .. A church for every week and a pub for every day of the year.

I went to a talk at the Forum once on the boozing history of Norwich .. the chap who was giving the talk reckoned that if you counted all the ale houses as well as the pubs, there was some 4 or 5 drinking establishments for every day in the city !
