"WILBY, a small village and parish, 3½ miles E.N.E. of East Harling, has 124 souls, and 1396A. 3R. 19P. of land, belonging to the Earl of Albemarle and Sir Thomas Beevor. The latter is lord of the manor and patron of the Church (All Saints,) which has a square tower and four bells, and is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at £7. 4s. 7d., and consolidated with Hargham, in the incumbency of the Rev. R.F. Elwin, of Norwich. The joint rectories were valued, in 1831, at £380. The tithes of Wilby were commuted, in 1839, for £205. 2s. 5d. per annum. An Almshouse, in three tenements, with small gardens, was given by one of the Wilton family, for the residence of poor parishioners.
