The Chapel in Princes Street, Norwich of the Independent Congregation is a landmark in the city centre, a formidable presence opposite to the Anglican church of St Peter Hungate. The Congregation formed as a result of a split from the Countess of Huntington's Tabernacle, asserting an Independent line. The splits and variations have continued to this day as the chapel now belongs to the United Reformed Church.

The only register in the public domain is that surrendered to The National Archives in 1837 consequent upon the Civil Registration Act. This register although filmed by TNA has a copy on Microfilm MF1152 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office and from which this transcript was prepared. Although the quality is not to the standard of modern filming it is adequate to the job and this was a relatively straightforward transcript to prepare. It is to hoped few errors have crept into its compilation.
