Nedham

A parochial Chapel of St. Peter, dependent of the mother-church of Mendham All Saints: "Nedham, adjoins east to Brockdish, on the great road; and is originally a hamlet and chapelry to Mendham [...] the parish church [i.e., Menham All Saints'] stands just over the river, and so is in Suffolk; but this hamlet and the adjacent part between it and the parish church, on the Norfolk side [...] at the Conqueror's survey, and paid 7d. to the geld or tax; and the part on the Norfolk side (exclusive of the bounds of this ancient hamlet) was called Scotford, or the part at the ford, (over which there is a good brick bridge built, called Shotford bridge at this day,) and for many ages had a rector presented to it, who served in the church of Mendham, by the name of the rector of Shotford portion in Mendham. [...] The chapel of St. Peter at Nedham was in all probability founded by the Nedham family, and most likely, by Sir Thomas de Nedham himself, for his own tenants; and being so far from the mother-church of Mendham, was made parochial, and hath separate bounds, officers, administration of sacraments, and burial; it is under the episcopal, but exempt from the archidiaconal jurisdiction". This position of St. Peter's chapel led to problems with the mother-church and the nearby prioy: "Blomefield (ibid.) writes of a complaint from Nedham: "In 1411, the parishioners of Nedham, complained to Pope John XXIII. that their chapel was not well served, though the Prior of Mendham was well paid his tithes [...] upon which, a bull directed to Alexander de Totington Bishop of Norwich, issued; (fn. 3) commanding him to oblige the Prior of Mendham to find, and give security to him, that that convent would always find a parochial chaplain resident in Nedham, well and duly to serve the chapel there" -- the Pope referred to, "John XXIII", must be the 'Antipope' Baldassare Cossa, who was ordained and consecrated Pope all in one day, 24 May 1410. [NB: being a parochial chapel with full administration of the sacraments [cf. supra], it would have had its own baptismal font, but we have no information on it].
