- White's Directory for 1883 says that the inhabitants attended the churches in Terrington St Clement in Norfolk, and Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire.
- In 1883 Terrington St Clement was in the Deanery of Lynn Marshland, in the archdeaconry of Norwich.
It could have been in a different deanery or archdeaconry both before and after this date. - There was no parish church in Central Wingland.
