St Peter Mancroft, Gothic parish church in Norwich Market Place, England.
St Peter Mancroft is a Gothic parish church in Norwich standing beside the Market Place with soaring windows and slender columns inside. The building sits on elevated ground and dominates the skyline with its vertical stone walls and buttresses.
An earlier building stood on this site from the late 1100s, while the current structure was rebuilt between 1430 and 1455. This reconstruction period matched a time of urban growth and investment in Norwich's public buildings.
The church holds a collection of church silver and historical objects that visitors can see inside, connecting the building to Norwich's past. These items reflect how the community valued and preserved this sacred space over time.
The church is open on weekdays during daytime hours and has accessible toilets and bike storage for visitors. It's worth checking opening times before going, as services and religious events may sometimes limit access.
The church tower holds 14 bells and houses a specialized center dedicated to teaching bell ringing techniques. Visitors can learn about this centuries-old English craft that remains active in the tower today.
