St. Stephen's Church, Norwich

St Stephen's Church is a parish church of the Church of England in Norwich. The church was first documented in a 12th century royal charter. The church became a pilgrimage site after Richard Caister was buried in the chancel in the 15th century. Richard Caister was an English priest and poet in the late 14th and early 15th-centuries, and was the confessor to the English mystic Margery Kempe. From 1402 to his death in 1420, he was Vicar of St Stephen's Church.

The church has undergone major rebuilding and renovations since the 16th century. Both the chancel and the nave were rebuilt in 1522 and 1547, respectively. The English Civil War damaged a large portion of the church in 1648, which had to be restored. The church was fully renovated in 1858 and again in 2009.

The most distinguishing feature of St Stephen's Church is the tower. Made from flint and white stone, the tower has a checkered effect. Unlike most churches, which feature the tower at the west end, the St Stephens Church tower is above the main entrance.

St Stephen's Church is Grade I Listed. Visitors may attend one of the Sunday services or they can stop at the church cafe. It is open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM.
