The Hall farm, (200A.) belongs to the Bethel Hospital, Norwich. The Church (Virgin Mary,) has a tower half circular and half octangular. The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £4, and in 1831 at £93. The Rev. J.N. White, of Tivetshall, is patron and incumbent, and has about 12A. of glebe. The great tithes belong to Emanuel College, Cambridge." [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
