Parish History

It is believed that there was a saxon church on the site from 1040 and it occupies a site close to Fye Bridge the river crossing of the major North South axis of the city formed by King Street and Magdalene Street.

The church closed in the 1960's as redundant and is now in use as a pastoral and counselling centre under the care of the Norwich Historic Churches Trust.

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 for this volume of registers but the entries refer to St Clements until 1887 when St Edmund combines to form a combined register.
