Thetford No. 8 / Deodford / Tedford / Tefford / Tetford / Theford / Sitomagus

Blomefield (1805-1820) writes: "The Church of the Holy-Trinity, Stood in Suffolk, and joined to the south side of the cathedral churchyard, and was founded (as it is supposed) by Arfast Bishop of Thetford, and Roger Bigot [i.e., contemporaries of William the Conqueror] [...], this the parochial church, of which the Bishop and Roger were patrons, it being the half church, as it is called in Domesday, (fn. 19) that belonged to the Bishop. The foundations are visible in the close over against the house that belongs to the schoolmaster and usher of the free school, though there are no walls, but two small pieces of the steeple now remaining above ground [...] a consolidation passed the 24th of April, 1547, and soon after the church of the Trinity was entirely demolished, and the parish joined to St. Cuthbert's." [NB: we have no information on the font of the 11th-century church here].
