The Wesleyan congregation in Norwich was founded by John Wesley in 1754 though the Norfolk Record Office catalogue indicates entries as early as 1751. This congregation has moved four times in its long history, the initial chapel being sold to the Lady Huntington's Connection, a short spell followed at St James Priory before another dedicated chapel was erected in Cherry Lane, finally the congregation settled in Calvert Street in 1810 and was there for the whole of the transcript period.

Three registers have been deposited which sadly terminate in 1851, it is unknown to the author whether more records exist that have yet to be deposited but should they appear in the public domain then they will be transcribed and added here. The first register is deposited with the National Archive as RG4/654, it consists of a small set of hand-written records then a numbered ruled book. The second register also deposited with the National Archive as RG4/2178 was started only just before the act to submit Non-Conformist registers and contains just a brief few records. Both these registers are filmed on Microfilm MF1156 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office - the film is of good quality and the records are clear, however the hand-writing leaves a little to be desired. The third register, a standard Wesleyan book with four entries to a page, is deposited with Norfolk Record Office and filmed on Microfilm MF1728 is of excellent quality of image but once again suffers from eccentric hands. As is normal with Non-Conformist registers there is much evidence of entries being completed out of sequence which could imply error and omission.
