[[Dovre kommune|Dovre]] church 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.

One does not need to read much of the local historical literature from Lesja before one discovers this about the church bells at Lesja main church: “The largest church bell in Lesja church tower was cast at Nestande in 1767. On the bell an inscription concerning sexton Fredrik Nicolai Wiborg is found. In the Latin inscription his name is found with three others: Minister Smidth, Carl Friis (church trustee), and the bell maker, Løvberg.<ref anme=O> Østerås, Otto: “Kirkeklokker i bygdesogn” Hedmark Slektshistorielags Jubileumskrift 1939-1964; Hamar 1964 </ref>” It was the sexton in Lesja who had proposed casting of the largest bell in the church. The first part of the Latin inscription attests to that: “edit Frd Nicol Wiborg.<ref>“edit” is the Latin third-person singular of the verb ‘to bring about”?ref>” | |||
Besides performing duties as a sexton, Wiborg was a member of the broader community. Nicolai Christian Lassen’s diary, which was published in 1777, gives insight in its record of a visit with Wiborg at Sili. Lassen indicates that: “In Lossøe parish at the Sili farm the owner, sexton Wiborg has converted a marsh to meadow ground by drainage, where it now grows 6 hayricks of hay. He has built a farm house, under which he set a foundation three yards deep into the earth, and under the walls lay stone drainage passages it drain away the spring water that erodes away the earth. He operated the first stamp mill (for wadmal) in the parish. Several years prior he made an attempt to fire faience ware from a very fine clay, which is found in the vicinity of the main church. Because of the locations great separation from the marketplaces, shipping to the customer was difficult and costly. Besides in the vicinity there is limited wood for burning. Viborg is a witty & skilled farmer who with his children has improved three farms, where he formerly dwelled. He also keeps himself temperate.”<ref name=L>Lassen, Nicolai: Nicolai Christian Lassens Dagbok fra 1777 over en Reise igiennem Guldbrandsdalen; Gudbrandsdalens Historielag 1933 </ref><ref name=LL>Lassen quote :”Klokker Viborg har udtappet en Mose til Engbund hvorpaa kand avles 6 lӕs Høe, opbygget Gaardens Huuse, under dam set en Grundmur 3 Alen i Jorden og under Muren lagt lagt Steenrender for at bortføre Kildevӕld , som bortskyllede Jorden.
