"SYDERSTONE, a village on an acclivity, 6 miles W.N.W. of Fakenham, has in its parish 504 souls, and 2,308 acres of land, belonging to the Marquis Cholmondeley, the lord of the manor, and patron of the rectory, valued in the King's Book at £13 13s. 4d., and in 1831 at £535, and now enjoyed by the Rev. Wm. Henry Tudor, M.A., with 45A. of glebe. The tithes were [commuted] in 1845. The CHURCH (St. Mary,) has a round tower, and formerly had aisles, which were taken down about 1784. In the 12th of Henry VII., the Earl of Suffolk granted this manor to the Robserts, one of whom was the unfortunate Anne, Countess of Leicester, who figures in Sir Walter Scott's novel of Kenilworth, under the name of Amy Robsert." [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
