Decaying Monument, St Etheldreda's One of Norwich's more humble churches in the south of the city, St Etheldreda's shows something of it's difficult history, the stumpy octagonal tower is the result of renovation in the 18th century and much of the remainder needed thorough restoration in the 1880s after yet again falling into disrepair (during which time traces of wall paintings were found which have since vanished). The church has long been redundant and has been converted into studio spaces for artists, which has involved inserting a floor in the nave roof to create a kind of 'attic', access to which is via a metal staircase in the centre of the chancel. The interior of the church itself therefore looks somewhat shabby, but at least it's status as a working building ensured it's survival. There is subsequently not alot to see inside, all the furnishings have gone, just one Jacobean wall monument remains on the north chancel wall, everything else was removed to allow subdividision into units (there is no stained glass either, probably the case before redundancy). St Etheldreda's survives as a working building, and is generally not open to the public but much more valuable for it's picturesque exterior which at least survives intact thanks to it's conversion to new use.
