Click to view
There are two entries for Weybourne [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TG1143/weybourne/], but there is no mention of a church or cleric in either of them. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "The Church of Wayborne is dedicated to All-Saints, and was appropriated to the priory of Wayborn [...] The priory in this town was for canons of the order of St. Austin, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and All-Saints: Sir Ralph Meynelwaryn of Cheshire is said to have founded it in the reign of Henry II. but it is more probable that Sir Ralph Meynelwaryn, who lived in the reign of King John [i.e., 1199-1216], was the founder [NB: the latter date and double dedication are confirmed in the Victoria County History (Norfolk, vol. 2 (1906)] [...] It was at first subordinate to Westacre priory." The present octagonal font in this church is probably from the 19th-century restoration [NB: the priory goes back to ca. 1200 and there are claims that the tower of priory church incorporated remnants of a previous Saxon tower, but we have no information on the earlier font(s) here].
