"FRING, or Frenge, is a parish, with a small village, seated in a deep valley, with woody acclivities, between Snettisham and Docking, 14 miles N.E. by N. of Lynn; containing 162 inhabitants, and 1,730A. 2R. 34P. of land, mostly belonging to Abm. Richd. Dusgate, Esq., the lord of the manor; but he resides generally in France, so that the Hall, a neat cemented mansion, upon a commanding eminence, with extensive gardens and pleasure-grounds, is unoccupied. Only 1,570 acres are accessible. The CHURCH (All Saints,) stands on the western acclivity, and has a small tower of flint, with one bell. . . . The curacy, valued in 1831 at £77, was augmented, from 1790 to 1816, with £700 of Royal bounty, and in the latter year with £200, given by the present incumbent, the Rev. Rt. Bacon, LL.D."

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.
