"HORNING, 9 miles N.E. of Norwich, is a large straggling village and parish, with 467 inhabitants, 951A. 3R. 17P. of arable land, and 1571A. 3R. 23P. of fertile marshes and meadows, lying between the navigable rivers Bure and Ant. . . . The village is in two divisions, called Upper and Lower streets, and has several neat houses; and on the Bure are commodious staiths or wharfs. . . . The present parish Church (St. Benedict,) stands on an eminence, and has a tall square tower, with one bell. The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £8, and was augmented, from 1729 to '93, with £800 of Queen Anne's bounty, vested in 31A. of land, at Stokesby, Acle, and Newton-Flotman. . . . The Bishop of Norwich is patron, and the Rev. Charles Carver, M.A., incumbent." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
