See reply 12 and following posts about the Northumberland records that were there and then they were not 
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=797637.9

I would be saving everything I could find while they are there just in case

Rosie, they seem to be online again

I'm going to add this one, but better not to tell anyone else about it
Norwich District probate registry wills, 1858-1925
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1023004?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Intriguing! Are all 1858-1925 wills online across the country?

No, sadly they aren't. Those proved at Chester might be online though.

Ah, shame  . Unfortunately it looks like a lot of the Archdeaconry Court of Norfolk records are locked as you said - I didn't scroll all the way down  But we have this page with slightly different references relating to the Archdeaconry Court of Norwich which is all open, is that something different?

Wills and administrations, 1469-1857. Archdeaconry of Norwich. Court.
https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/504379?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Using references from the NRO cat i.e. ANF will register fo., no. such and such, I haven't been able to match these to these other registers.

Unfortunately checking some other references from the open register it seems the Archdeaconry of Norfolk and the Archdeaconry of Norwich are indeed two different things designated ANF and ANW respectively in the NRO cat. So one will need to go to a Family History Center or Norfolk Record Office to access most of the Archdeaconry of Norfolk (ANF) wills currently.

When you follow the camera icon it tells you they are available to members of the church or at a LDS centre or unavailable for online viewing at this time (I am logged in)

Hi Rosie, sorry wrong link, they're not indexed but you can browse

They are the BT transcripts, the ones that were open were parish register images

Hi
I think the different courts are best explained via the link you gave to Norfolk, "Church Courts - probate records before 11 January 1858". Certainly better than I could!

As you have said, the ANF register copy wills are locked up as far as home viewing is concerned. I don't know why that is as we can see the Norwich ones.
But at least it appears that we can see the ANF copy wills for 1800-57 on Norfolk Sources
i.e., from NROCAT
Fidgett, Jane, of Fakenham, 1808
ANF will register 1808-1810 (1808) fo. 12 no. 6

Chose that one at random,  but anyway it is online. Can't get the Rootschat Shrink Link to work for this!
