St John the Baptist's Church, Timberhill, Norwich
St John the Baptist's Church, Timberhill, Norwich is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Ber Street, Norwich. HistoryThe church is referred to by early writers as 'St. John ad Montem or 'at the Hill', 'St. John at the Castle-gate', and 'St. John by the Swine-market'.[2] In 1783 the church was described as consisting of "a nave thatched, a chancel tiled, a south porch and two ailes, with chapels at their east ends, leaded". The tower was square and had five bells.[3] Some 11th Century fabric remains at the east end, but the building as it stands dates mainly from the 15th century. It is built of flint and brick with stone dressings. All the windows were refaced or replaced in the Victorian period. The nave roof is now tiled.[4] The tower collapsed in 1784 and a stone bellcote was built to replace it in 1877.[5] OrganThe church contains an organ which has been much modified during the 20th century. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[6] References
