The medieval building has a Georgian interior and is a calm light space with no stained glass. The building speaks for itself, and what you see is what you get.  To the many passers-by during the week, we are a familiar landmark building standing at a busy crossroads in the city, and we are so grateful the have the support of local businesses and residents.

Our worship is straightforward Anglican, accessible and undemonstrative. We enjoy intelligent open-minded sermons and good music, usually provided on our 213 year old organ that has been kept in excellent condition and suits the building perfectly. The peal of six bells in the church tower is rung after the service on most Sundays.

We are a committed and growing congregation all playing our part in helping St George's Colegate meet its role as the parish church of Norwich Over-the-Water.  In late 2010 we carried out a long-overdue project to update a 1960s kitchen and toilet to provide an accessible meeting room, thus helping to unlock the potential of the building for the next part of its history.  In 2011 we have managed to complete necessary repairs to external stonework and guttering.  The new parish room is now well used, for example for a lunchtime course during Lent, holding our 'Dirty Shirt Club' meetings, and offering a place of retreat for parents and children during the Sunday service (which can be followed on a small TV screen).
