"HALVERGATE, a parish and well-built village, 7 miles W. of Yarmouth, has 495 souls, and 2675A. 2R. 35P. of land, two-thirds of which are marshes. Though now distant about 3 miles S. of the Bure, and 4 miles N. of the Yare, Halvergate was a sea port, before the land was formed on which Yarmouth is built. Robert Fellowes, Esq., is lord of the manor, and owner of part of the soil; and the rest belongs to Robert Howard, Esq., C. and R. Gillett, and a few smaller owners. The CHURCH (St. Peter and St. Paul,) is an ancient fabric, but the chancel has been rebuilt of brick. The vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £5, has 43A. 1R. 14P. of glebe, and a yearly rent of £236. 9s. 4d. in lieu of tithes. The Rev. George Burgess is the incumbent; and the Bishop of Ely is patron, and also appropriator of the rectorial tithes, which have been commuted for £330. 9s. 10d. per annum." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
