Full Description
1878.
Walrus ivory relief of the Crucifixion, probably late 10th century.
?'From Minster' (cathedral?). In Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
R.R. Clarke (NCM).
This was in fact found in 1878 during the construction of the public lavatories on the site later occupied by the Cavell Memorial. The reference to the 'minster' therefore is misleading.
Information referenced (copy filed under Norwich General).
E. Rose (NLA), 27 August 1998.
