St. Martin at Palace is an ancient structure, where, in early times, a boys’ singing school was kept. Rev. A. Braddell, incumbent.

St. Michael at Coslany is a handsome structure, with a lofty embattled tower, containing a clock and eight musical bells. The interior of the church is handsomely decorated. The altar-piece represents the Ascension, and the four evangelists; and the floor in front is paved with black and white marble, from the domestic chapel of the Earl of Yarmouth, at Oxnead. On the south side is Thorp chapel, erected in 1508, of flint and freestone, and one of the finest specimens of flint-work in the county. The church contains a very old font, several mural monuments, and some ancient brasses. Rev. R. Rigg, rector.

St. Michael at Plea, so named from the Archdeacon of Norwich holding in it his Pleas or Courts, is built in the form of a cross, and has a square embattled tower. There are some ancient paintings near the pulpit, well worthy of inspection. Rev. C. Morse, rector.
