A HISTORY OF NORFOLK 



The taxation of Bishop Walter de SuflReld,* of 1253—4, shows the same deaneries; but gives 

 Norwich and Taverham separately, thus making a total of thirteen deaneries for the Archdeaconry 

 of Norwich. It also gives the number of parishes in each deanery, and a list of churches untaxed 

 in Norwich.

 the dissolution acknowledged no archidiaconal jurisdiction, for the deanery contained all the city, the two

 inhabitants, except the abbey and nunnery, which were exempt.
