"WOLTERTON parish, 4 miles N.N.W. of Aylsham, and 9 miles S.S.W. of Cromer, has only 43 inhabitants, and 722 acres of land, nearly all comprised in the beautiful park of WOLTERTON HALL, the seat of the owner and lord of the manor, - the Right Hon. Horatio Walpole, Earl of Orford, and Baron Walpole, of Walpole and Wolterton. . . . The venerable ruins of the parish CHURCH (St. Margaret,) stand on the north side of the hall, embowered in lofty hollies. . . The rectory, valued in the King's Book at ￡8, is consolidated with that of Wickmere, in the patronage of the Earl of Orford, and incumbency of the Rev. Stephen Allen, M.A., of Erpingham, who has 36A. 2R. 14P. of glebe in Wickmere, and a yearly rent of ￡564, awarded in 1840, in lieu of the tithes of the two parishes."
