Norwich St Giles, Norfolk Genealogy

[[Image:St Giles on the Hill Norwich.JPG|thumb|right]]History
Norwich St Giles is an Ancient parish in the Diocese of Norwich.

There has been a Church on the site since before the Normans came to Norwich, but there is no trace of that building now. St Giles Church as it stands today has its origins in 1386, when a bequest was given to start the building the church. By 1424, the tower was almost finished, and by 1430 the building was complete enough for funerals to take place. The chancel is more modern and was built during the 19th century.

The church is the highest point in the city and the tower is the highest of any church in the city.
