About

Heigham Grove and St Augustines is a residential neighbourhood situated just west of Norwich's historic city centre. The area is characterised by a dense network of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many with distinctive local yellow brickwork. Streets are generally quiet, lined with mature trees, and centred around the open green space of Heigham Grove itself.

The district takes its name from the large Church of St Augustine, a prominent Gothic Revival landmark built in the late 19th century. The area is primarily residential, with local commerce focused along nearby St Benedicts Street and Dereham Road. A notable local feature is the medieval arch of the former Heigham Watering House bridge, which crosses the River Wensum at the area's southern edge, linking to Marriott's Way.
