Church Of St Julian

The Church of St Julian is a parish church that dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries, with significant rebuilding in the 20th century following war damage, carried out by architect A. J. Chaplin. The church is constructed of flint with stone and brick dressings and features a black pantile roof. It includes a west tower, nave, and chancel, along with a 20th-century south chapel and vestry, and a north porch. The round tower is truncated at the level of the nave eaves and shows traces of circular openings. The 20th-century single-storey porch has two circular window openings in the north wall of the nave, with a third window altered into a lancet shape. The chancel consists of a single bay. A Norman doorway from St. Michael at Thorn connects the nave to the chapel. Notably, Julian of Norwich, an anchoress, had a cell in the corner of the churchyard. This church is mentioned in F. Blomefield's "History of Norwich," Volume III, page 81.
