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. The font is probably modern, as the old one may have been destroyed in the collapse of the tower in 1784; re-built 1877. Pevsner & Wilson (1997) do not mention the font but note the font cover: "A glorious tall pinnacle, richly traceried, by E.J. Tench, 1929."
