I was just getting excited and thinking about taking out a subscription to view them, but then I noticed that they only seem to be transcriptions? I assume they are not full transcriptions of wills?

Assuming that I wasn't just unlucky and that there are no images included, I did use this Rootschat thread to find some Norfolk wills on FamilySearch recently:

But it would be lovely to be able to click through from a name directly to the will.
It looks as if it is simply the NROCAT entries. It was an amazing exercise to get them catalogued, but hardly a wonderful new database on FMP... unless they plan to add the images at a later date. And if they did, one would hope they refilmed them. If I remember correctly, they are all negative images, which have to be switched when you printed them.
