Norwich St Edmund, Norfolk Genealogy

Parish History
Norwich St Edmund, Fishergate is an Ancient parish in the city and Diocese of Norwich.

Built in the sixteenth century it underwent Victorian refurbishment before the end of the parish. From 1887 it's parishioners were united with neighbouring parish of St Clement as seen in the combined register 1887-1900.

In 1913 the building was surrounded on three sides by a large fatory fire bu unharmed and for decades stood amidst wasteland. It suffered damaged in Second Worl War Bombing Raids on Norwich.

As a result of the 1960's recommendations about redundant churches in the city it now serves as a counselling centre within the care of the Norwich Historic Churches Trust. It was previously used as a let church by the new Frontiers Church.

Church records
Images of the parish register for this parish are available on Record Search. With it's closure the parish was incorporated into Norwich St Clement, Norfolk

The register for Baptisms 1887-1900 for Norwich St Edmund were included in the microfilming at the Norwich Record Office and the book is titled St Clement with St Edmund. St Edmund at this time had closed and parishioners appear to have attached to St Clements. There is a distinct way point in the Record Search collection for this volume of registers but the entries refer to St Clements until 1887 when St Edmund combines to form a combined register.
