==Bowthorpe, Eaton, and Drayton== Kett and his followers camped for the night of 9 July at [[Bowthorpe]], just west of Norwich. Here they were approached by a local official, either [[Nicholas L'Estrange (politician, born 1511)|Nicholas L'Estrange]], [[Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk]], or former sheriff Sir Edmund Wyndham, who ordered them to disperse. The response was negative, and the official retreated to Norwich.{{efn|MacCulloch (1979, p. 42) points out that [[Raphael Holinshed]]'s account is the only source attributing this meeting to Wyndham, and his description of the encounter may have confused Wyndham with L'Estrange. Wyndham would have been acting in a private capacity, as he was not reappointed Sheriff until November of that year.}} Next the rebels were visited by the Mayor of Norwich, Thomas Codd, who met a similar response. The following night the rebels camped at nearby Eaton Wood and then, having been refused permission to march through Norwich to reach [[Mousehold Heath]] north-east of the city, crossed the [[River Wensum]] at [[Hellesdon]] and spent the night at [[Drayton, Norfolk|Drayton]].{{sfn|Land|1977|pp=42{{ndash}}47}}
