Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not work) :
*************
Trunch is a village and parish in Norfolk, England,[1] situated three miles north of North Walsham and two miles from the coast at Mundesley. At the Census 2011 the village had a population of 909.[2] The parish covers an area of 5.5 square kilometres (2.1 sq mi).
Trunch Parish Church is the Grade I listed[3] 14th-century church of St Botolph.[4] The church is famous for its carved and painted wood font canopy featuring lower panels with paintings of the twelve Apostles, a cornice including a Latin inscription, and above six arches filled with tracery.[5] Only four such canopies still exist in England.[citation needed] St Botolph's also features a hammerbeam roof with carved angels, as well as medieval misericords under the seats in the chancel. Another medieval survival is the rood screen depicting 11 disciples and St Paul (their faces were scratched out during the Reformation). Lord Nelson's daughter is said to have been married in the church.
In 1589 Robert Thexton became the rector of Trunch. While at Cambridge University, Thexton had been the room-mate of Christopher Marlowe the famous, and infamous, Elizabethan playwright.[6]
