An historic Norwich church has been put up for sale with a 600,000 price tag, after its congregation dwindled.

The imposing St Peters Methodist Church occupies some 11,500 square metres in the heart of the citys Golden Triangle and is on the market.

But developers looking to snap up the Park Lane church so it can be turned into homes are likely to be disappointed.

Norwich City Council has indicated it wants the buildings to remain in use for the community and, for the time being at least, does not want it converted into residential use.

While the building, which was designed by city architect Cecil Yelf, is not listed by English Heritage, it is locally listed, which gives it some protection against demolition.

The property is made up of three interconnected buildings with some construction dating back to 1894, although the church itself was built in 1939.

Tom Corfield, from Hall Road-based surveyors Irelands, explained why the church was on the market.
