St Margaret’s church, Cley-next-the-sea, Norfolk. Images of ships are relatively common finds, inland as well as near the sea. This image shows a distinctive medieval ‘Cog’ from the late C14 or early C15; a type of ship used by the Hansa trading league that would have been a common site on the North Norfolk coast. (c. Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey)
