No I hadn't!

I see they were married "by bands" in the "prahish" of Hindringham, so not sure the transcription is all it could be - but a great start to investigate further. I'll see if the original is on familysearch - it might give the witnesses.

Many thanks again!

Familysearch gives date as 30 Aug 1784

Yes, the spelling made me laugh too!
I'm pleased it was on Family Search, it's good to have confirmation.

Just going through the images now, found Barnes back in 1740s - another parish to add to my research.

A lovely start to my morning, Elizabeth, many thanks again.

The actual image in the Archdeacon's Transcripts does say "by bands". Wedding bands, presumably!
