Surrey Chapel, Norwich
Surrey Chapel is a Free Evangelical church in Norwich, Norfolk, England.[1] It was founded in 1854 by the Evangelical Robert Govett, in a public hall in Surrey Street[2] (which has been called 'no earthly gem' architecturally).[3] It is perhaps best known as being home to the missionary , who, during World War II, travelled to Vittel to assist in the rescue of Jews and other foreign nationals imprisoned by Nazi Germany.[4][5] The church was also attended by British missionary Margaret E. Barber.[6] In the twenty-first century, the chapel was known for its work in the local community, including debt advice,[7] and participation in the local football league.[8]
