"ROUGHTON, 6½ miles N. by E. of Aylsham, has in its parish 404 souls, and 1740 acres of land, including 371A. of open heath, on which the parishioners cut fuel. Lord Suffield owns a great part of the soil, and is lord of the manor. The Church (St. Mary,) has a round embattled tower, and the living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £6, and now having 29A. of glebe, and a yearly rent of £96, awarded in lieu of small tithes, in 1839, when the great tithes were commuted for £197 per annum. The latter are held by Lord Suffield of the Bishop of Ely, the patron of the living, which is now enjoyed by the Rev. Fleetwood Churchill. Here is a Primitive Methodist chapel. The FREE SCHOOL, now conducted on the national system, was founded by the Rev. Robt. Brown, in 1694, and the master now derives about £45 a year from the school property, exclusive of the use of the dwelling-house, and about five acres of land " [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
