'Parish was depopulated by the plague of 1349 and the church there ceased to be parochial, the Prior and Convent of Norwich converting the churchyard into a garden and making the church a hermitage chapel.
The pyx is not under lock and key and therefore the sacrament was no longer reserved'.
After 1349 plague the church was annexed to St George Colegate.
Church made a hermitage chapel, mid 19th century; occupied by Waton's brewery.
