HELLESDON, or Hellesden, 2 miles N.W. of Norwich, has in its parish 400 inhabitants, and about 2000 acres of land, but only 76 souls, and 1163 acres are in Taverham Hundred, all the rest forming a separate township, called Hellesden Hamlet, which is in the county of the city of Norwich, with which it maintains its poor.

For Church, &c., see p.118, and Directory, p.217.

That part of the parish in Taverham Hundred is a township in St. Faith's Union, and belongs chiefly to Archdeacon Berners, and is occupied by James Coleman, yeoman; and George Cross, Charles Mayes, and Joseph Talman, farmers.

Here is a large Corn and Oil Mill, occupied by Samuel Culley, of London, for whom Thomas Spice is manager.

Page 118: This is part of the History of Norwich:

HELLESDEN CHURCH, about two miles W.N.W. of the Market place, stands within the county of the city, though part of the burial-ground and parish is in Taverham Hundred. It is a small building, dedicated to St. Mary, and has an octangular turret, surmounted by a small wooden spire, and containing one bell. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £12, is consolidated with Drayton, in the gift of the Bishop, and incumbency of the Rev. T.J. Blofield, of Drayton.
