"STOW-BARDOLPH, a small pleasant village, on the Lynn road, 2 miles N. by E. of Downham, has in its parish 1,046 inhabitants, and 5,695 acres, . . . About 2 miles W.N.W. of the village, is the hamlet of STOW-BRIDGE, on the river Ouse, where there is a FAIR for the sale of horses, cows, &c., . . . Sir Thos. Hare, Bart., owns a great part of the soil, and is lord of the manors, which were purchased in 1553, by his ancestor, Sir Nicholas Hare, . . . He resides at STOW HALL, a stately mansion, . . . built in 1589, at the cost of £40,000, by Nicholas Hare, Esq., . . . the CHURCH, (Holy Trinity,) which has a nave, . . . The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £6 6s. 8d., and in 1831 at £400, with the rectory of Wimbotsham annexed to it, in the incumbency of the Rev. John Clavering. Sir Thos. Hare is the patron, and also impropriator of the great tithes of this parish, which were commuted in 1845. Here are six Almshouses, built by Sir Ralph Hare, Kt., who endowed them, in 1622, with 86A. 3R. of land, now let for £80 per annum; . . . A little south of the church, is Pool House, an ancient building of flint and brick, supposed to have been a chapel or hermitage.
