Thetford No. 17 / Deodford / Tedford / Tefford / Tetford / Theford / Sitomagus

Blomefield writes: "Sometimes called the church of St. Andrew the Less, to distinguish it from the abbey church, which was often called, St. Andrew the Great, was a rectory valued in the Norwich taxation at 10s. [...] It is on the Norfolk side, and was impropriate to the Prior of the canons, who served it by a stipendiary curate till the Dissolution, when it was granted to Sir Richard Fulmerston, who, about 1546, got it consolidated to St. Peter's, and then the church was demolished, and the churchyard settled as glebe on that rectory, to which it now [1738] belongs. [...] In 1511, this church was repaired, for then Robert Love of Thetford gave 20s. towards it." [NB: we have no information on the font of the medieval church here].
