"RYSTON parish, 3 miles S. by E. of Downham, has only 40 souls, and about 1,000 acres of land, belonging to Edward Roger Pratt, Esq., of Ryston Hall, a neat mansion, in a beautiful park.The CHURCH, (St. Michael,) is a small structure, with a square tower. On the pavement, a marble slab covers the remains of Sir Roger Pratt, who died in 1684, and on an altar-tomb lies the effigy of his lady.The curacy of Ryston with Roxham, was augmented from 1810 to 1824, with £800 of Queen Anne's Bounty, and was valued in 1831 at £61. The Dean and Chapter of Norwich are patrons, and the Rev. Charles Mann is the incumbent." [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
