| This token is engraved in "Norfolk Archaeology," vol. v., p. 241. "Henricus Sydnor Grocer App'ntic' Adrian Parmenter admissus est Ciuis 18 Octobr 1624." He resided in St Stephen's, and was Sheriff in 1661. His will, dated 1677, was proved by his son Henry in 1678. In it he mentions his wife "Jean," and directs that his body be buried at Brunstead, in Norfolk. In the Mayoralty Court Book, June 3, 1668, is the following entry: "Hen Sydnor gent. informed upon oath that ye present day he did heare John Sulman mason profanely sweare by the name of God severall tymes & being reprooved for the same sayd he would sweare for all him and a warrt is to be issue agt him." The Greyhound, in 1783, was in Surrey Street; the house now bears the sign of the Boar's Head. |

| Matthew Salter resided in St Etheldred's parish. His name occurs in the overseers' book from 1666 to 1683. On the south side of the font there is a stone, now nearly illegible, to the memory of Bridget his wife, who had by him twenty-two children. She died in 1670, aged forty-two. The quaint verses given by Blomefield, p 541, cannot now be read. We find the following entry in the Mayoralty Court Book: "19 May, 1666. It is ordered that ye Oatemeale house of Math: Salter in St Etheldreds parrisbe shall be shutt vp by the Overseers of ye sd Parrishe, and the Constable to assist them." The above entry has reference to the increase of the plague in this city. |
