St Peter Hungate, Norwich, Medieval church and art museum on Elm Hill, Norwich, England
St Peter Hungate is a medieval church in Norwich now used as an art museum for religious objects and works. The building features intricately crafted flint stonework, medieval stained glass windows, and a 15th-century wooden roof decorated with carved angels.
The building started as a parish church in the medieval period and was transformed into a religious art museum in the 1930s. This conversion followed efforts in the early 1900s to preserve the structure from decay.
The building displays religious artworks and objects spanning centuries of Norwich's church life. These collections show how the community expressed faith through objects and art over time.
The site opens most weekends between March and October, offering guided tours and hands-on activities such as brass rubbing. It's worth checking ahead to confirm opening times and what's happening during your planned visit.
Inside is an Italian organ from 1938 that originally came from a monastery in Tuscany. This instrument is registered in a national database for historical pipe organs, making it a notable feature for music lovers.
