Norwich No. 33 / Norwic

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. Noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997): "An octagonal C13 font of the Purbeck type with two shallow arches to each side, but not of Purbeck marble, was found in the coal-hole and is now in St Peter Hungate Museum." The font at St. Peter Hungate's church is still in the building, now a museum; it is probably of the original date of the church, early to mid 15th century; it consists of an octagonal basin with an encircled quatrefoil on each side, a crenellated pattern at the upper rim and at the lower end as well; graded moulded underbowl; octagonal pedestal base with cinquesfouiled arch or window on each side; lower base has crenellated pattern as well.
