When the sexton Ola Kring died in Lesja in 1751, Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg was appointed sexton there and was presented to the congregation on the third Sunday following Trinity.<ref name=B/> In the Lesja Sogn there were three satellite churches - Lesjeverk, Dovre & Folldal. The travel distances were great & it could be very difficult in the winter.<ref name=B/> | When the sexton Ola Kring died in Lesja in 1751, Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg was appointed sexton there and was presented to the congregation on the third Sunday following Trinity.<ref name=B/> In the Lesja Sogn there were three satellite churches - Lesjeverk, Dovre & Folldal.

Dovre was an annex to Lesja that was inaugurated in 1740. .Over the choir opening stands Christian VI’s monogram in gold. During restoration of the church in 1954 a secondary painting of the arch was carefully removed together with the original painting, which today is reverently displayed, and the initials FAW were found. These were interpreted as the initials belonging to Fredrik Anderssen Wiborg. But it is certainly unlikely that Wiborg himself painted the arch. A “garnish” that the original had used both gold and silver, and demonstrated an attention to artistic professionalism that a sexton in Lesja scarcely had. But he could very well have taken the initiative to pay for the performance of the work. Around Norwegian churches there are many examples in which the donor of gifts to church embellishments has left his name or initials.<ref name=T>Tallerås, Pål H., Kyrkene i Dovre.

In 1767 Lesja church purchased new bells, for which members of the congregation bore the cost.
