St Giles' Church, Norwich is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Norwich. The church is medieval and is noted in the Domesday Book of 1086. The present St Giles Church has its origins in 1386, when a bequest was given to start building the church. By 1424, the tower was almost finished, and by 1430 the building was complete enough for funerals to take place. It was restored between 1866 and 1867 by Richard Phipson. The tower is the tallest in Norwich at a height of 120 ft. St Giles on the Hill has a number of wall monuments including the following: Thomas Churchman 1742 by Sir Henry Cheere, 1st Baronet; Sir Thomas Churchman 1781 by Thomas Rawlins; Philip Stannard 1747 by Thomas Rawlins. The church contained an organ which dated from 1896 by Norman and Beard.

A beautiful church, sadly we couldn't stay for very long.
I would add to the comments below that the bells in this tower were around about 600 years before they were ! The oldest bell dates from 1457!! Maybe, don't choose to live or stay next to a church and bell tower? of COURSE you'll be woke up on Sunday, it's a church in England!

A beautiful little church. I would comment to all those complaining about bells, don't live near a church! There are many churches throughout the City so choose carefully; at one stage there was a Church for every Sunday...The WW11 bombing put paid to that, so many medieval sites destroyed then and since by thoughtless planning
