"FOULDEN, or FOULDON parish, has a large straggling village, 8 miles S.S.W. of Swaffham, and contains 500 inhabitants, and upwards of 3354 acres of land, mostly the property of W. G. T. D. Tyssen, Esq., H. B. Caldwell, Esq., and Mrs. Horrex; the first of whom is lord of Latimer's manor, and resides at FOULDEN HALL, a modern mansion; but Lord Berners is lord of Warren's manor. The CHURCH (All Saints) is an ancient building, of which the tower is an ivy-mantled ruin, but the rest of the fabric, after being long in a dilapidated state, has recently been thoroughly repaired. The screen is decorated with paintings, and carved canopy work, with effigies; and under one of the south windows is the mutilated effigy of a man in armour, supposed to represent Roger Weyland, the founder of the church. The benefice is a discharged vicarage, valued in K.B. at £10. 2s., and united with Oxburgh rectory, in the gift of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and incumbency of the Rev. Richard Lucas, M.A." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © E.C. "Paddy" Apling]

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.
