Decode/refine a LDS reference to Norwich?

[bugbear]

I suspect this record relevant to my tree:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NF2D-KYN

But the location of the marriage is given as Norwich, which is clearly not the (whole) truth.

I am assuming that this is a Bishop's Transcript (at Norwich cathedral) and the actual church or parish of the marriage was not transcribed.

The alternative is that the marriage took place in one of Norwich's (many) churches, but this seem less likely - adding the same church/parish to each record as your transcribe a register is realy rather easy.

Can anybody improve the location of the record finer than "Norwich" ?

My hope and expectation was Dickleburgh (where a William Smith, wife Harriet couple had just one child in 1811...), but I've checked the Dickleburgh register and it's not there.

That page goes from 23 Oct, William Cooper to Elizabeth Howlett, then 23 Nov, Theopholus Cooper to Harriet Algar.

It appears that the whole of Batch Number I07773-1 is labelled as "Norwich Norfolk".

What IS an Indexing Project (Batch) Number in this context?

Tiny step forward - the Film code (1595864), which gives the same number of records decodes to:

Marriage licence bonds, 1557-1902
Author:   Church of England. Diocese of Norwich. Consistory Court; Norfolk and Norwich Record Office (Norwich, England)

The GS Film No: quoted 1595864 refers to Marriage Licences and Bonds 1557-1902 - Diocese of Norwich.

Do a google search for William Smith merchant of Dickleburgh. There is an interesting article on the family who owned the Mill, listed under Norfolk Mills.
You can also purchase a copy of a disenfranchisement deed re William Smith and the land at Dickleburgh from Family Deeds

FindMyPast have browsable parish registers - assuming that the marriage took place very shortly after 9 November 1810,m they did not get married at:

All churches in Norwich:

St Andrew
St Augustine
St Benedict
St Clement and St Edmund
St Etheldreda
St George Colegate
St George Tombland and St Simon and St Jude
St Giles

I haven't looked at any other Norwich parishes, of which there appear to be a number.

Ah, ha!  All is now clear    "The county of Suffolk was wholly within the Diocese of Norwich until 1837."

FFHS publication - Bishops' Transcripts and Marriage Licences, Bonds and Allegations.

Added:  And just because I'm nosey    Dickleburgh and Oakley are about 5 miles apart!    And that's travelling by today's roads, not a direct route across fields etc.

... and no online source has that marriage. Thank you.

I am going to the NRO soon, for work on another tree, so I'll try to see the marriage bond while I'm there.

Thank you!
