William Norwiche Brass, St George Colegate St George Colegate is a rarity in this area of Norwich in that it remains as a working church. It is one of the most attractive and rewarding in the city. Again the building is almost entirely the product of the late 15th century with a soaring west tower, chancel and north chapel and nave flanked by aisles and with another fine clerestorey. The interior is a real gem as seems to have been left alone by Victorian restorers and thus retains it's Georgian furnishings giving it an atmosphere quite unlike the other city churches, and much the better for it. It is remarkable how well the 15th century gothic of the architecture and the 18th century Georgian furnishing complement each other, it's an interior that feels like a time-capsule, and is well cared for and obviously loved. There are some fine memorials here, several wall tablets in the aisle, and a fine Renaissance terracotta tomb chest in the north chapel to former Mayor Robert Jannys (d.1530) and nearby brasses of one of his 15th century predecessors (the aptly named) William Norwiche and his family. The only stained glass is the late Georgian east window (c1820, believed to be by a Mr Swan) which contains figures of Faith, Hope & Charity derived from Sir Joshua Reynolds designs for New College, Oxford. The painted detail has not lasted well, thus they appear more as ethereal masses of colour from afar. This is easily one of the city's best churches, and fortunately it is open to visitors most weekdays and has a keyholder for when it isn't.
