Today I discovered that the church of Saint John Maddermarket at Norwich now has a page on Wikipedia. The church has memorial stones of several notable people, including the marine artist Joseph Stannard (1797-1830) and the theatre director Walter Nugent Monck (1877-1958) founder of the Maddermarket Theatre nearby. There's also a large funerary monument to the memory of Margaret Howard 4th Duchess of Norfolk (1540-1564) which can be seen high up towards the clerestory at Saint John's.
Here's the magnificent portrait of her by the Flemish painter Hans Eworth (c. 1520–1574).
