to Mrs. Ames Lyde] who I believe employed vessels in the 
Greenland fishery.” 
Congham. Mr. G. S. Buxton tells me that there are several 
lengths of Whales’ bones in the form of posts about 2 feet 6 in. 
above the ground, against the corners of walls in the garden 
at Congham Lodge. 
Snettisham. Arch on the Knoll, Ken Hill, by the foot-path 
on the property of Sir Edwd. Green, Bart. 
East Dereham. A Whale’s jaw-bone formerly stood at the 
entrance of a yard in High Street, East Dereham, occupied by 
a grocer, named Barkham. 
Necton, near Swaffham. Another has been for many years 
at the garden entrance to a small farm-house in Chantery Lane, 
Necton. 
Lynn. There are three sets of jaw-bones in the garden of 
a house in Stonegate Street, Lynn, formerly occupied by Mr. 
Joseph Wales, owner of the “ Jago,” Capt. Curtis ; the house 
was built and the garden laid out in 1811, and it is believed that 
the bones were placed there about that time. They are in 
bad condition. 
A fine jaw-bone formerly in the garden of the London and 
Provincial Bank (late Jarvis and Jarvis) on the Tuesday 
Market Place, is now erected at the Lynn Museum. 
A similar trophy was formerly standing at the back entrance 
to a house in Bird-cage Walk, Lynn. I could not find any 
trace of it and presume it has been removed. 
The roof of the shed adjoining the old Blubber House at 
Lynn as mentioned above, was supported by Whales’ bones, 
but the building has been removed. 
Wiggenhall St. German’s. An old building used as a smithy 
has built into its brick walls 15 or 16 Whales’ bones, they stand 
at the corners and at intervals all round the building, the wall 
plates at the eaves resting upon them, seven or eight feet 
from the ground. 
Downham. The sign-board of the “White Hart” public- 
house in Bridge Street, Downham, is supported by a Whale’s 
jaw-bone, which I have not seen.
