St. Clement’s, in Conisford, situated in King Street, was a very ancient church, founded long before the Conquest. It was united with St. Julian’s in 1482.
St. Cuthbert’s was situated at the north end of King Street, near Tombland. About 1492 it was united to the church of St. Mary the Less at the monastery gates, and was demolished in 1530.
St. Edward’s stood on the west side of King Street, near St. Etheldred’s church. About the end of the 13th century it was united to St. Julian’s. All along King Street there are many vaults and crypts, which seem to have formed the foundations of old churches and monasteries.
St. Faith’s or St. Vedast’s was situated near the place where Cooke’s hospital now stands, in Rose Lane. It was founded before the Conquest and was taken down in 1540, the parish being united with that of St. Peter per Mountergate. The latter is a corruption of the old name “Parmenter Gate,” which should be restored by authority. It was the old Tailor Street.
St. Francis’ belonged to the Grey Friars, whose convent stood near the site of Cooke’s hospital. It was a noble church, 300 feet in length and 80 feet in breadth, with cloisters and a large chapter house. At the Dissolution it was, with the convent, granted to the Duke of Norfolk.
St. James’, Carrow, belonged to the nunnery there, and with it became private property at the Dissolution, the parish being united to Lakenham.
St. John’s in Southgate stood at the north corner of Rose Lane, and about 1300 was annexed to St. Peter Parmenter Gate. The Grey Friars pulled it down and annexed the site of it to their convent.
St. John the Baptist’s stood on the site of the present Octagon chapel. It was originally a parish church; but when the Dominicans, or Friars’ Preachers, settled here in 1226, it was given to them, and the parish was united to St. George’s at Colegate. They immediately built a convent in this place and the church was used by them as a chapel, till they removed to their new convent in St. Andrew’s, where they dedicated their church also to St. John the Baptist. The church is now St. Andrew’s Hall, and the chancel (formerly the Dutch church) is now the place of worship of the Free Christian Church.
St. Margaret’s, in Fyebridge, was a church of ancient foundation, situated on the west side of Magdalen Street, near the gate. There is no account how long it has been dissolved. The parish is now united with St. Paul’s.
St. Margaret’s at Newbridge, anciently called St. Margaret’s at Colegate, was situated near Blackfriars’ bridge, on the west side of the street. The parish was depopulated by the great pestilence, in 1349, when the church ceased to be parochial, and the parish was annexed to that of St. George’s Colegate. The church occupied the site of Weston’s brewery, now demolished.
