"SKEYTON, 3 miles E. by S. of Aylsham, and 11 miles N. of Norwich, has in its parish 351 souls, and 1264A. of fertile land, rising in bold swells from a meandering rivulet, and belong [sic] to a number of owners, who purchased their estates about 16 years ago of Viscount Anson, now Earl of Lichfield, who is still lord of the manor of Skeyton Hall; but part of the parish is in the manor of Whitwell Hall, which belongs to, and is occupied by, Mr. L.B. Leggett. The Church (All Saints,) stands on a bold eminence, and the rectory, valued in the King's Book at £9. 10s., and augmented with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty in 1792, now consolidated with Oxnead rectory and Buxton vicarage, is in the incumbency of the Rev. Henry Anson, and patronage of S. Bignold, Esq. The joint benefices were valued in 1831, at £682 per annum, and the tithes of Skeyton were commuted in 1840 for £343 per annum, besides £15 paid yearly to the rector of Swanton-Abbot. Robert King, who died here in 1727, aged 103, had "an entire new set of teeth about ten years before his death."

- "On October 9th, at SKEYTON, a beautiful little chapel, 28 feet by 17, was opened by the Rev. Messrs. A.E. Farrar and Titus Close; and on the following Sunday, by the Rev. Messrs. William Kelk and Isaac Denison. The whole expense of the erection is £100; towards which about £30 was subscribed and collected. This village was visited by the Preachers in 1784, and at intervals ever since. About four years ago, a hired room was fitted up for the accommodation of the people. It was well attended, and sinners brought to God in it. Having now entered a place, superior in every respect, we hope that greater things will be effected in the name of the Lord."

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.
