"NARBOROUGH, or Narburgh, 10 miles E.S.E. of Lynn, and 5 miles N.W. by W. of Swaffham, is an ancient village, with several neat houses, pleasantly seated on the south-side of the river Nar, which is navigable for small craft from Lynn, and has here a water-mill and a wharf, where much business is transacted in coal, timber, corn, malt, &c., by Messrs. Marriott. The parish contains 360 inhabitants, and about 3512 acres of land, half of which is cultivated heath extending southward to that of Swaffham. The principal owner of the soil and lord of the manor is Samuel Tyssen, Esq., owner of NARBOROUGH HALL, an ancient mansion of brick and stone, formerly encompassed by a moat, and built in the reign of Henry VIII., by Judge Spelman. . . . The manor was anciently held by a family of its own name, from which it passed to the Spelmans, and from them to the Dashwoods. The CHURCH (All Saints) has a square embattled tower, and formerly had a spire, which was taken down in 1679. It is an ancient fabric, containing several monuments and fine brasses to the Spelman family. The vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £9.10s., is endowed with the rectorial tithes, and since 1799, has been held with Narford, by the Rev. Wm. Allen, M.A. The Rev. Henry Spelman Marriott is patron, and the annual value of the joint benefices was £521 in 1831."

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
