"THORPE MARKET is a picturesque village of neat houses and cottages, 5 miles S.S.E. of Cromer, and 4½ miles [of] N.N.W. of North Walsham. Its parish contains 261 souls, and 1309 acres of land, but only 1088A. are assessable. Lord Suffield is owner of the soil, lord of the manor, impropriator of the rectory, and patron of the vicarage, which is valued in the King's Book at £5. 11s. 3d., and was augmented with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty in 1807. It has annexed to it the donative of Bradfield, and is enjoyed by the Rev. John Dolphin.The present Church (St. Margaret,) was built partly on the site of the old one, by the second Lord Suffield, who died in 1821. . . . The tithes have been commuted, the vicarial for £77. 15s., and the rectorial for £155. 10s. per annum. The Almshouse, for four poor widows, was founded, in 1671, by Sir Thos. Rant, who charged his estate here, now belonging to Lord Suffield, with the yearly payment of £10, for division among the almspeople.
