Font Notes:
Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "St. Michael's. Was a parish church on the Suffolk side, but I could never make out whereabouts it stood. It was a rectory in Thetford deanery, [...] and Norwich archdeaconry, taxed at half a mark, and appropriated to the Prior of the monks of Thetford, who was returned as perpetual rector of it, in Edward the Third's time [i.e., 1327-1377]. It was demolished before the Reformation" [i.e., English Reformation, 16th century].
