"MUNDFORD is a large village, with several neat houses, on the London road, near the river Wissey, 5 miles N. by E. of Brandon, 8 miles N.W. of Thetford, and 10 miles S. by W. of Swaffham. It has in its parish 437 inhabitants, and 1609 acres of land, exclusive of a common of 190 acres, and also 90 acres of heath, where the parishioners have a right of fuel and rabbits, but no pasturage. Most of the parish belongs to Sir Richard Sutton, lord of East Hall, but Lord Berners is lord of West Hall manor, held by the service of a rose and "spar-hawk." The CHURCH (St. Leonard) is an ancient pile, without a tower, and the living is a discharged rectory, valued in K.B. at £7. 17s 6d., and in 1831 at £137. Sir Richard Sutton is patron, and the Rev. John Raven, B.A., incumbent." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © E.C. "Paddy" Apling]
