medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I have been away from PC for a while so may be entering this late but,
unless his recent article (already cited by Cate, I think) contains/updates
everything in his thesis) colleagues may be interested in Norman P Tanner,
The church in Later medieval Norwich 1370-1532 (Pontifical Institute of
Medieval Studies, 1984) - the book of his thesis. pp198-203 list all the
known anchorages and hermitages in Norwich. The thesis/book is an
examination of the wonderful surviving series of will registers for the
Norwich diocese.
