Like the great majority of Norwich's 30-plus medieval parish churches, St Michael at Plea is no longer used as a church. Other uses have been found for many of them, St Michael at Plea included, which is (and has been for many years) a permanent Craft and Antiques market. I've no idea about the records, except that the centre of Norwich was extensively bombed in World War II - including the destruction of three of the parish churches.
