St Mary in the Marsh, Norwich
St Mary in the Marsh was a parish church in Norwich in Norfolk, England. Founded prior to the Norman Conquest, it was absorbed into the precinct of Norwich Cathedral between 1250 and 1265, though retained its status as a parish church. In 1564 due to high upkeep costs, it was closed and its parish was amalgamated with that of St Vedast and St Peter Parmentergate. The church was gutted and converted into tenements. In 1775, a Georgian terrace was built on the site, though the interior walls of the building retain some fabric of the church walls and foundations. The font remains in St Luke's Chapel in Norwich Cathedral. The church is dedicated to Mary the Virgin, one of 196 such dedications in Norfolk. Its suffix derives from the low-lying location of the church which was a marsh and would have needed drainage.
