Font Notes:
There are ten entries for Norwich [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [https://opendomesday.org/place/TG2308/norwich/] [accessed 13 October 2020], one of which records "22.7 churches. 2.57 church lands" in it; a separate entry records a priest and a church in it. Bond (1908: 285) describes the cover on the baptismal font at St. Stephen's, rare in that it is made "of iron, now gilded, and consists of eight eagles' necks, held together by a ring beneath the heads, so as to form an open canopy of good outline; the eagle above is probably a modern addition".
