"BRETTENHAM parish, in the vale of the river Thet, 4 miles E. of Thetford, has only one farm-house, a few cottages, 62 inhabitants, and 1888 acres of sandy land, occupied by John Palmer, and belonging to Sir W. B. Proctor, Bart., the lord of the manor and patron of the CHURCH, (St. Andrew,) which, with the rectory-house, was burnt down in 1693, but afterwards rebuilt, except the chancel, of which the arch of a large window still remains. The Rectory, valued in K.B. at £5. 12s. 6d., and in 1831 at £200, is in the incumbency of the Rev. Thos. Lewis Jones."
