"STURSTON parish, on the river Wissey, 5½ miles S.W. by S. of Watton, has only 75 inhabitants and 2000 acres of sandy land, in two farms, belonging to Lord Walsingham. About 800A. form a prolific rabbit warren and sheep walk. The Church (Holy Cross) has long been in ruins. The sinecure curacy, valued at £28, is in the gift of Lord Walsingham and incumbency of the Rev. Wm. Pearse, M.A., of Hanwell.
