St Peter Parmentergate, Norwich (also Permountergate) is a Grade I listed redundant parish church in the Church of England in Norwich.[1]
History
The church is medieval and was rebuilt in 1486. The church closed in 1980 when the congregation moved to St Julian’s Church, Norwich. In 1994 the vestry was leased by the Norwich Historic Churches Trust to the Magdalene Group.
In 2005, the church became the Norwich Centre for Martial Arts. In 2019 it reopened again as a medieval combat training arena.
Organ
A specification of the Norman and Beard organ that was formerly in the church can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2] It was transferred to Norwich School.
Current use
The medieval church is currently used as an indoor skatepark,[3] run by the charity Community East.[4]
In 2021, it became the location of long-standing Norwich skate shop, Drug Store.[5]
The skatepark opened in December 2022.[6]
