"QUIDDENHAM, a small village and parish, in the vale of a rivulet, 2 miles E. by N. of East Harling, has only 83 inhabitants, and 1,116A. of land. The whole, except 50 acres of glebe, is occupied by and belongs to the Earl of Albemarle, who resides at the HALL, a large and handsome mansion, chiefly of brick, seated in an extensive and well-wooded park. One front has a Doric portico, and the other a centre with four Ionic columns, supporting an entablature and pediment, with corresponding pilasters. It was long the seat of the Holland family, whose heiress sold it to Mr. Bristow, of whom it was purchased with the manor, in 1762, by George, the third Earl of Albemarle. . . . The Right Hon. Wm. Chas. Keppel, the fourth and present Earl, succeeded his father in 1772. He is patron of the rectory, valued in the King's Book at £8. 4s. 6d., and in 1831, at £658, with that of Snetterton annexed to it, in the incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. Edward Southwell Keppel, M.A., who occupies the rectory-house, a neat mansion of white brick."

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.
- 1861 Census
- "GUILTCROSS. The decrease of population in most of the parishes of this District is attributed partly to the migration of labourers to towns and manufacturing districts. In some parishes it has also been consequent upon the failure of hand-loom hemp-cloth weaving."
