"HEMPTON, a small parish and scattered village, half a mile S. of Fakenham, (being on the opposite side of the river Wensum,) has 447 inhabitants, and only 370 acres of enclosed land, and 68 acres of common, mostly the property of Lord Charles Townshend, the impropriator, and lord of the manor. The CHURCH (St. Andrew,) was standing in the 12th of Henry VII., but it was taken down several centuries ago, and the curacy annexed to Fakenham." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
