[Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]SALTHOUSE, a scattered village, on an acclivity above the salt marshes, half a mile from the beach, and 4 miles N. of Holt, has in its parish 263 souls, and 832 acres of land, exclusive of a tract of swampy marshes, with large pools of water, near the sea, frequented by large flocks of wild fowl.
The principal landowners are Mrs. Johnson, Wm. Purdy, and Mrs. M.A. Girdlestone. The latter is lady of the manor, and patroness of the Church (St. Nicholas,) which has a lofty tower, and was built by Sir Henry Heydon, in the reign of Henry VII. The living is a discharged rectory, consolidated with Kelling. (See page 743 [which is the entry for Kelling].)
At the enclosure, in 1781, the poor received three allotments, comprising 349A. 3R. 6P., for fuel and pasturage. One of these allotments (121A. 3R. 35P.) was part of Kelling common.
