TATTERSETT, or GATESEND parish, on the banks of the Tat rivulet 6 miles W. of Fakenham, has 160 inhabitants, and 1,757 acres of land, belonging to Sir Chas. Chad, Bart., who occasionally resides here at Pinkney Hall, an ancient mansion, formerly a seat of the Drurys, but his chief seat is Thursford Hall. He is lord of the manor, and patron of the rectory, valued in the King's Book at £6 6s. 8d., and in 1831 at £685, with that of Tatterford annexed to it, in the incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. A. A. Turnour. The Church (All Saints,) is a small fabric with a tower.

The poor have two cottages left by Diana Drury, and repaired by Sir Chas. Chad. They have £2 12s. a year, left by John Tinkler in 1713; and the interest of £50 left by Samuel Nutt, in 1762.
