The origins & development of
Norfolk’s parish churches
Although medieval parish churches might appear to have been in place from the founding of a settlement, some were not: they may have been spawned from a mother church under the “system of Minster Parochiae.“ This lecture investigates how, why and where parish churches were established and built and how contemporary fashions and population growth led to “make-overs” at various stages over the centuries.
