"BRININGHAM, which gives name to a police division, is 4 miles S.W. by S. of Holt, and has in its parish 243 souls, and 1138 acres of land, mostly in Lord Hastings' manor "on the part of Thornage," (fines arbitrary,) and partly in Lady Suffield's manor of Briningham Chosells. On the north side of the parish is a tower called Belle Vue, belonging to Lord Hastings, and commanding extensive views. The Church (St. Maurice,) is a curacy, valued in 1831 at £62. It is in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. Shovel Brereton, M.A., who is also impropriator of the tithes, (commuted for £353 per annum,) and has lately erected a handsome parsonage house, on a pleasant eminence, and is also rector of Great Poringland."

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
- 1841 Census
- "The decrease of population in Briningham and Bale (or Bathley) is attributed partly to the emigration of a number of persons about four years ago."
