"TUNSTALL, 8 miles W. of Yarmouth, has in its parish 116 souls, and about 1611 acres of land, mostly the property of Andrew Fountaine, Esq., the lord of the manor. The Church (St. Peter and St. Paul,) is in ruins, except the small chancel, which is used for divine service. The land is tithe free, and the living is a perpetual curacy, certified at £6. 13s. 4d., and valued, in 1831, at £56. It was augmented, from 1743 to 1801, with £800 of Queen Anne's Bounty, which was laid out in land. The Bishop of Norwich is patron, and the Rev. Thomas C. Haddon is incumbent, and has £6 a year from the lord of the manor."[William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
