The same authority gives an extract from the will of Margaret, widow of Sir Robert Berney, knight, dated 141 6, from which it is to be learnt that the painter Robert Okyll of Norwich received 34^. 4^. for painting a certain table or panel with the history of St. Catherine, probably a small altar piece for a private chapel.* The name Okyll occurs twice in the long list of Norwich painters just given, though with somewhat different spelling, the second entry being dated 1407. It is possible that this was the same man who in the fabric accounts of the College of Mettingham, previously cited, is put down as receiving in 141 3-14 66s. ^d. in part payment for painting a table {tabiiia) for the high altar of the chapel of the college, the sum remaining due to him being paid up three years after.* Thomas Barsham, or Thomas of Yarmouth, another painter and carver whose name has also been previously referred to, figures in these same accounts as having received ^^6 loj. in part payment for making and painting two images. The next year ^8 10/. was paid him for further work upon and about them, and for executing a table {tabula) for the altar, and a similar entry occurs the following year with ' I owe the list given in the text to the kindness of the Rev. W. Hudson, M.A., F.S.A. 2 Illustrations of the Rood Screen at Barton Tur/{iS6()), p. 14. ^ Ibid.
