From Holt Registers:
1801 : Priscilla wife of John Baker late Priscilla Custance was buried Dec 3rd aged 68

On 18 Apr 1802 John Baker, widower, married Bridget Framlingham at Blakeney - the same John ?


And I just located this

Holt St Andrew Parish Registers
28 Sep 1760 By License
John BAKER of Wells Widower
Priscilla CUSTANCE of Holt Single Woman
Witnesses
Ad CUSTANCE
Wm CUSTANCE


Also found the following baptisms for children of John & Priscilla. Wells, Norfolk, Baptism Register (one of the best registers I have ever had the pleasure of reading)

07 Aug 1761 BAKER William
21 Jul 1762 BAKER Elizabth
30 Oct 1763 Baker Anna Maria
18 Mar 1765 BAKER Margaret

Nothing more in Wells in the following 10 years but the baptisms of four children to a John & Priscilla Baker, at Yarmouth St Nicholas, on FreeReg, may (or may not) be relevant

1772 BAKER Jno
1773 BAKER Adam
1775 BAKER John
1777 BAKER Susanna

LDS/Familysearch has the marriage of what appears to be Parson Custance Baker's parents (cross checked against both individuals)
15 JUL 1841 Saint James, Westminster, London, England
Charles Baker & Jane Lambourn (father Richard Lambourn)
Jane Lambourn & Charles Baker (father John Baker)
GRO Marriage Ref (from FreeBMD)
1841, Sep, Lambourn, St Jas Westr, 1, 112
1841, Sep, Baker, St Jas Westr, 1, 112

As the 1851 census of Holt gives Jane's age as 37 and her birthplace as Ludgershall, Bucks she is probably the (LDS again)
Jane Lamborn Baptised 30 JAN 1814 Ludgershall, Buckingham, England Parents Richard & Elisabeth

Charles' age in 1851 was given as 39, and his birthplace as Holt. A quick check of the registers found
Charles son of John Barker and Harriet his wife late Harriett Sales was born April 11 privately baptised April 12 and rec'd into the church Jun 23 1812.

John Baker & Harriett Sales had married at Holt on 18 Dec 1806. Both were single and the witnesses were Charles Sales and Margaret Baker and Sarah Scott.

FreeReg has four more children of John & Harriett
24 Dec 1813 BAKER Anna Maria

02 Nov 1816 BAKER Margaret
12 Jul 1818 BAKER Frances

FreeReg again
40 year old Harriett Baker was buried at Holt, on 9 July 1821
