"ELLINGHAM, (LITTLE,) is a village and parish, 2½ miles S.S.W. of Hingham, and 5 miles E.S.E. of Watton, containing 250 souls, and 1516A of land, belonging to several owners, the largest of whom are Wm. Colgrave, Esq., and the Rev. Samuel Colby. The former is lord of the manor, (fines arbitrary,) and the latter is patron and incumbent of the rectory, valued in K.B. at £7. 1. 10d., and augmented in 1724-6, with £200 of Q.A.B., and £200, given by the Rev. J. Cater. The tithes were commuted, in 1839, for £420, but the rectory is consolidated with the vicarage of Great Ellingham, and the joint livings were valued in 1831 at £735 per annum. The Church (St. Peter) is a small fabric, with a tower and one bell." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Mike Bristow]
