The Old Meeting House, Colegate street, was erected in 1693 by the Independents, a congregation of which body had existed in Norwich since the Commonwealth. They had originally assembled in a brewery in St. Edmund’s, and afterwards in the “west granary” of St. Andrew’s Hall. The Old Meeting is built of red brick, fronted with four Corinthian pilasters. The Rev. John Hallett is the minister.

Prince’s Street Chapel, another Independent place of worship, was erected of white brick, with boldly-displayed cornice and pediment, and a Doric portico of four columns. The cost was upwards of £4500. The Rev. John Alexander has been the minister ever since its erection.

A third Congregational Chapel, a very handsome building erected in the vicinity of Chapel Field, was opened in 1858. Rev. Philip Colborne, minister.
