 East Dereham
In the lower part of the churchyard of St Nicholas's Church at East Dereham in central Norfolk [pictured below: author's photograph] is the holy well of the East Anglian princess, St Wihtburh, one of the six saintly children of King Rædwald's nephew, Onna.
Another possibility is that the function of the doe as a source of strength and nourishment derives from the ultimately totemic awe with which the the Wuffing family held the deer, as may be suggested by the great stag emblem from the ceremonial whetstone found among the treasures of Mound One at Sutton Hoo.
The body of St Wihtburh appears to have survived the Danish conquest of the ninth century for it was still at Dereham in 974 when it was stolen by the recently appointed Abbot Brihtnoth of the newly re-established Abbey at Ely.

The wide central reservation on the old line of the road was because there used to be a right turn lane to East Dereham for traffic travelling westbound.

 The Story of East Dereham by Ben Norton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Although the story of St Withburga depicted on the town sign may be more legend than fact, it embodies the true origin of the town in a monastic foundation established by that pious Saxon princess.
For hundreds of years the growing community of Dereham was administered by first the abbots, then the bishops, of Ely.
It was not until Tudor times that the parish was wrested away from the church, by Queen Elizabeth herself, though with no immediate, radical effect on the lives of the inhabitants.
