"WICKLEWOOD, a parish and scattered village, three miles W. of Wymondham, and E. of Hingham, contains 1527 acres of land, and had 775 inhabitants, in 1841, including 137 in Forehoe Hundred Workhouse, which is described at page 430. . . . Henry VI. granted Wicklewood a market and two fairs, but they were obsolete more than two centuries ago. The soil belongs to many proprietors, the largest of whom is Lord Wodehouse, lord of the manor of Wicklewood, but here is a small rectorial manor, called Ampners, and belonging to Mrs. Cholmondeley, Mrs. Darby, and Mrs. Kett, as impropriators of the rectorial tithes, and patrons of the vicarage, valued in the King's Book at ￡6. 3s. 11½d., and in 1831, at ￡131. The Rev. M.B. Darby, of Hingham is incumbent. The Church (All Saints,) is a large building, with a lofty square tower, and there was in the same burial-ground, another Church, (St. Andrew,) belonging to the rectory, but it was dilapidated in 1367. Here is a National School for this parish and Hackford." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
