"CASTLE RISING is a parish 4½ miles north-north-east from Lynn and 2 east from North Wootton station, in the Western division of the county, Freebridge Lynn hundred and union, Lynn county court district, rural deanery of Lynn and archdeaconry and diocese of Norwich, situated on the Babingley river. This parish was anciently a seaport and town of considerable importance, returning two members to Parliament, and the mayor took precedence of those of all boroughs in the county; but having long since been deserted by the sea, it fell into decay, . . . The church of St. Lawrence is a fine specimen of the Norman style, restored in 1844; the chancel, Early English, was beautifully restored in 1857 . . . The register dates from the year 1573. The living is a rectory, with that of Roydon annexed, joint yearly value £419, with 15 acres of glebe and residence, in the gift of the trustees of the late Hon. Greville Theophilus Howard and held since 1846 by the Worshipful Charles Walter Bagot M.A. of All Souls College, Oxford, chancellor of the diocese of Bath and Wells."
