John was ordained Deacon in 1599 and Priest in September 1606. He later became Rector of the Parish of Saint Paul and Saint James, Norwich. There can be few more curious towers in Norfolk than that of Saint James the Less. The church is broadly 15th century, but the tower was built within the nave. This results in a three-way partitioning of the west end as if it was intended to house chapels in one cause or another. As if this weren't odd enough, the top was given a fancy polygonal turret in the 18th century. At first sight, it might appear a round tower; but it isn't. The entire area was almost completely destroyed by German bombs one night in January 1942; Saint James miraculously escaped, but Saint Paul, 50 meters to the west, was burnt out and has today completely disappeared.
