"RUNHAM village stands on the north bank of the Bure, five miles W.N.W. of Yarmouth; but its parish, which contains 290 inhabitants, and about 1600 acres, includes Vauxhall Gardens, near Yarmouth Suspension bridge, and an extra-parochial house. The Evermores formerly held this lordship by petty sergeantry; and one of them obtained a charter for a fair and market, in 1226, . . . Wm. Boult, Esq., is now the principal owner and lord of the manor. R. Fellowes and S.B. Cory, Esqrs., have estates here. The Church, dedicated to St. Peter, is a vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £4, and in 1831, at £225, having 35A. 2R. 31P. of glebe, partly purchased with £200 of Queen Anne's bounty, obtained in 1780. The Rev. George Miller is incumbent, and the Bishop of Ely patron, and appropriator of the corn-tithes, now held on lease by J.E. Lacon, Esq. The tithes were commuted in 1840, for the yearly payment of £223. 16s. 3d., to the lessee of the rectory; £145. 5s. 10d. to the vicar of Runham, and £32. 4s. 6d. to the vicar of Gorleston."
