1 Earlham Road - parish boundary marker

Image: © Evelyn Simak Taken: 3 Jul 2018

This plate was reset to its present location from a property in the vicinity which was demolished to make way for the ring road, and dates from 1811. The letters 'H' and 'B' stand for the parish of Heigham St Bartholomew and the crossed knives below the letters are the symbol of Saint Bartholomew who was flayed alive. The plate is unique in that it is the only one of its kind marking a parish outside the city walls. See > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5829939 for a wider view of this location.
