"STANFORD, a small village on the south side of the Wissey, 6 miles S.W. of Watton, has in its parish 200 inhabitants and 2608 acres of light sandy land. Lord Walsingham is lord of the manor and chief land owner, . . . Lord Ashburton owns a portion of the parish. The Church (All Saints) comprises nave, aisles, porch, chancel, and tower. . . . The fine oak roof was given by Lord Walsingham. The Bishop of Norwich is appropriator of the great tithes and patron of the vicarage, which was valued in the King's Book at £5. 13s. 1d., and is now worth £75, being endowed with £20 out of the tithes, and having been augmented in 1775 and 1804 with £400 of Queen Anne's Bounty, invested in 16A. of land. The Rev. George Frederick Winstanley Wallis, B.A., is the incumbent, and has a good residence built by Lord Walsingham in 1844 at a cost of £600.
