"HILBOROUGH, or Hilburgh, is a scattered, but pleasant village, with a handsome hall, a good posting inn, and a large water mill, on the London road, 6 miles S. of Swaffham. Its parish has 337 inhabitants, and 2807 acres of land, nearly all the property of Henry Berney Caldwell, Esq., the lord of the manor, who resides at the Hall, a square brick mansion in a well-wooded park, on the western bank of a rivulet, erected in 1779, by Ralph Caldwell, Esq., who purchased the manor of James Nelthorpe, Esq., in 1763, after which he erected on it three new farm-houses, &c. The CHURCH (All Saints) is a neat edifice, with a fine square tower, containing five bells, and having freestone quoins and battlements. Over the western door are two effigies, one a man in armour, the other a savage, bearing in his left hand a ragged staff, and in the other a man's head. The living is a discharged rectory, valued in the King's Book at £13. 6s. 8d., and in 1831 at £390, in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. John Dolignon, M.A." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Paddy Apling]
