"WOODTON, a pleasant village, 10 miles S. by E. of Norwich, and 5 miles N.W. by N. of Bungay, has in its parish 567 souls, and 2,112 acres of fertile land, belonging to several proprietors, -- the largest of whom are Rt. Fellowes, and John Winn Gooch, Esqrs. The latter has a pleasant seat here, called Woodton Place ; but the Hall, which was long a seat of the Suckling family, was pulled down a few years ago. The CHURCH (All Saints,) is a neat structure, and among its monuments is the marble effigy of Anne, wife of Robt. Suckling, Esq., who died in 1653. The rectory, valued in K.B. at £6 13s. 4d., is in the gift of the Rev. S. M. Suckling, and the incumbency of the Rev. Richd. Waldegrave Packer, M.A. The tithes were commuted in 1841 for £615 per annum, and the glebe is 26A. . . Here is a Wesleyan Chapel, built in 1836."
