Documents Norwich's surviving and lost medieval churches, their artistry, and their impact on the city's historical development. Eight hundred years ago, there were 56 parish churches in Norwich. Thirty-one remain standing - the greatest concentration of medieval churches in any town or city north of the Alps. Most retain medieval furnishings and monuments, painting and glazing, and about a quarter of them are of the very highest quality in terms of materials and design. The locations of most of the lost churches are known, and archaeological examination has been undertaken at several of their sites. Together they form an internationally important corpus of historic monuments. Remarkably, no detailed account of these churches as a group has ever been published. This book not only explores each of the churches - standing and lost - but also examines their contribution to the development of Norwich and its community in the Middle Ages.
