"COLTON, a parish and scattered village, 8 miles W. of Norwich, contains 282 souls and 893A. of land, belonging to Capt. Ives and Mr. H. Daveney, but forming part of the manor of Costessey. The CHURCH (St. Andrew,) has a square tower and three bells. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £6. 9s. 9d., and in 1831 at £365, was augmented in 1728, with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty, £120, given by the Rev. Hy. Rix, and £80, given by the parishioners. The patronage is in the Crown, and the Rev. Henry Girdlestone is the incumbent."

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
