Resting Place
Erpingham was a significant benefactor to the city of Norwich, where in 1420 he had built the cathedral gate which bears his name, opposite the west door of the Norwich Cathedral leading into Cathedral Close.
A kneeling statue of Erpingham is found in a niche in the center of the tall flint-faced gable of the Erpingham Gate. He is buried on the north side of the presbytery of the cathedral.
