"NEEDHAM, on the Diss road, 1 mile W.S.W. of Harleston, has in its parish 310 souls, and 1200 acres of land, in five manors, of which the following are the names and owners:- Bourts, F.B. Frank, Esq.; Denisons, Lady G. Beresford; Seymours, R.K. Cobbold, Esq.; Witchingham, Sir R.S. Adair; and Gunshaw, the Rev. T.W. Whitaker; but the Duke of Norfolk has a paramount jurisdiction. The Church (St. Peter,) was formerly a chapel to Mendham, and is an ancient fabric, except the chancel, which was rebuilt in 1735. Sir Robert Shafto Adair, Bart., is impropriator of the tithes, and patron of the perpetual curacy, which was certified at £15, and valued in 1831 at £72, in the incumbency of the Rev. John Knevett, of Syleham." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
