This was very special visiting and finding this listed building and church and now a music academy--my Hyson ancestors are recorded in the parish records in the 17th century --their baptism records --so  it was great to see that the church has survived despite loosing its tower from WWII bombs in 1942--it has been saved and  the old black and white photos are gems...I have so much family tree history here in Norwich--also the Crispin tree I am also researching for Norwich and surrounding  areas. I visited the locak pub as well on this warm Spring day--the White Lion and it had history all over the walls--a good pub, good beer, friendly staff.
