Northern Limit of Old Norfolk Marker

Stuck into the wall that surrounds the graveyard of Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church at the corner of City Hall Ave and St. Paul’s Blvd, this marker denotes the original northern limit of Old Norfolk. It reads:
«This marks the northern limit of the fifty acres constituting the original town of Norfolk. It was bounded on the north by Town Back Creek and Dun-​in-​the-​Mire Creek. The land was purchased as a port for Lower Norfolk County for ‘Tenn thousand pounds of tobacco and caske,’ being deeded to Feoffees in trust for the County in 1682. It was divided into streets and sold in half-​acre lots.»
