St Julian’s Church, Norwich is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Norwich.[1]
History
The Lady Julian of Norwich, or Mother Julian, or Dame Julian, a 14th-century anchoress, took her name from the saint of the church, which was dedicated either to Julian the Hospitaller or Julian of Le Mans.
Essentially destroyed by bombing during World War II, the church was extensively restored by the architect J.A. Chaplin and reopened in 1953 mainly to act as a Shrine Church for Julian of Norwich. The Friends of Julian have a shop and lending library in a hall at the corner of the street.
Organ
The church has an organ dating in 1860 by Henry Jones, which was installed here in 1966. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]
