This blue commemorative plaque records: St Christopher's Church A pre-Conquest church dedicated to St Christopher stood on this site. This dedication is very rare, with only 9 pre-Reformation examples in England. The church burnt down during the reign of Henry III (1216-1272) and the parish was then divided between St Andrew's and St Michael at Plea. Recorded plaque organisation: Norwich Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust.
St Christopher's Church in Norwich marks a historically significant site as one of only nine pre-Reformation churches dedicated to St Christopher in England, highlighting its rarity. The church's destruction during Henry III’s reign led to the division of its parish between St Andrew's and St Michael at Plea, reflecting changes in local religious administration post-fire.
