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) as a baptismal font of the 19th century [NB: the church goes back at least to the 15th century but we have no information on the earlier font(s) of this church]
