"SETCH, or SETCHEY MAGNA, a village and small churchless parish, on the river Nar, 4 miles S. of Lynn, has now only 100 inhabitants, and 790 acres of land, though it was once a market town, Lord Bardolph having, in the reign of Henry III., obtained a charter for a weekly market and two annual fairs. These have long been obsolete; but a fortnight market for fat cattle, was held here, on every alternate Tuesday, till about 16 years ago, when it was removed to Lynn. Setch had a CHURCH standing in 1528, but no traces of it now remain. It maintains its poor separately, though it is ecclesiastically united with North Runcton, and comprised in that manor. A small room has recently been fitted up for divine service, and licensed by the Bishop. Here is a farm and large inn, belonging to the corporation of Lynn; and on the opposite side of the river Nar, in Wormegay parish, is Setch Brewery, conducted by George Hogge and Co., maltsters, and wine and spirit merchants, of Lynn.
