Notes:
Today it’s called East Dereham. The church is dedicated to St. Nicholas, and dates from the Norman period (11th or early 12th Century). The Seven Sacrament Font shown here was made in 1488. The eighth side of the font shows the crucifixion.
“The font in question [...] though mutilated, has been evidently beautiful, and worthy of a time that abounded in exquisite pieces of sculpture, devoted to the sameor similar purposes: let the reader look, for instance, at the font of East Dereham church, Norfolk (Fig. 1313) [...]” (p. 373)
