The Latin inscription reads: Memoriae Sacrum THOME HAVERS Clerici Qui Theologiae Medicinae Chirurgiae et Lythotomiae Doctus fuit et Expertus erga Deum pius erga Homines Justus Pauperibus ac Egrotis Semper Amicus Obit Vicesimo Septimo di lunij Anno Domin 1719 Aetatis Suae 60 (Sacred to the memory of Thomas Havers a priest learned in theology, medicine, surgery and lythotomy. Pious and just and ever a friend to the sick and poor. He died 27th June 1719 aged 60) The Revd Thomas Havers (1659-1719) was a member of a well known Norwich family. Ordained as a priest and licensed by the Bishop of Norwich to practice surgery Havers specialised in lythotomy - the surgical removal of a calculus (stone) from the bladder, kidney or urinary tract. The depiction of the tools of his trade > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6075296 dates from almost a century earlier than any that survive. The two surgical instruments on the left resemble phlebotomy and vascular lancets in the Royal College of Surgeons Museum. Further to the right there is a long bladed knife, covered by forceps and stone forceps which Rev Havers would have used for removing stones (without anesthesia, which was not known at the time). There is also a catheter with introducer, placed over another surgical knife. http://www.racns.co.uk/sculptures.asp?action=getsurvey&id=609 For a view of the church see > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1352081.
