St Michael-at-Plea, Norwich is a Grade I listed redundant parish church in the Church of England in Norwich.[1]

The church purchased an organ dating from 1887 by Norman and Beard. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[2]

Present use

At present it is a bookshop and café.[3]
