Norwich St Ethelreda is a round towered Norman church whose bell tower has an octagonal top.

Following the sixteenth century Reformation, the church declined: in 1597 the chancel was described as being "greatly ruinous". By the late nineteenth century the church was dilapidated and all but redundant.
