"WOODRISING is a small village and parish, 2½ miles W. by N. of Hingham, and contains only 129 inhabitants, and 1363 acres of land. John Weyland, Esq., is lord of the manor and owner of the soil, and resides at Woodrising Hall, a neat modern mansion in a small park, near Scoulton-mere. . . The Church (St. Nicholas,) is a small fabric, with the ruins of an ivy-mantled tower. The living is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at ￡4. 18s. 4d., in the gift of J. Weyland, Esq., and incumbency of the Rev. Arthur Roberts, M.A." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © PaddyApling]
