Lyng nr. East Dereham No. 2 / Ling

The Domesday entry for "Ling" reports neither church nor cleric in it. Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "Here was in ancient days, a religious house or nunnery, which is said to have been removed to Thetford, about 1176 [...] St. Edmund's chapel, belonging to the late nunnery, with several lands here". A quote from the Memorials of St Edmund’s Abbey, Vol III (London, 1896: p. 327-35) and reference to a "ascinating glimpse of the chapel preserved in the Bodleian MS 240" appear in a Wikipedia article [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Edmund%27s_Chapel,_Lyng] [accessed 9 October 2013] that notes: "The chapel was formerly part of a Benedictine nunnery. It is unknown when the chapel was built, but the nuns moved away to Thetford in 1176", which matches Blomefield [cf. supra]. Several local sources date most of the visible ruins to the 15th century. Knott (2006) writes: "If there was ever a surviving arch, it has gone now. It must have been the north doorway, because the red-brick outline of the western side survives in an outcrop of flint wall about three metres tall. It is directly behind the tree, and must be invisible in Summer. Just beyond the surviving fragment of archway, to the west, is a brick corner, and so I think that this must have been a towerless church. [...] Hardly anything survives of Lyng's former second church."
