"THORPE ABBOTS, 5 miles W.S.W. of Harleston, has in its parish 281 souls, and 1123 acres of land, anciently held by the abbots of Bury St. Edmund, and now belonging to several owners, the largest of whom are the Rev. E. Holland, (lord of the manor,) and the wife of Edw. Bridgman, Esq., owner of the Hall estate. The Cornwallis family were formerly lords of the manor. The CHURCH (All Saints,) has a tower, half round and half octangular. The benefice is a discharged rectory, valued in the King's Book at £6, and now having a yearly rent of £335, awarded in 1838, in lieu of tithes. J.P. Reade, Esq., is patron, and the Rev. Wm. Wallace, B.A., is the incumbent, and has lately built a neat parsonage house." [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
