[Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]WRENINGHAM, a parish of scattered houses, near the source of the small river Tas, 8 miles S.W. by S. of Norwich, has 487 souls, and 1502 acres of land, mostly the property of the Misses Harrison, and W.O. Burton, Esq.; but Lord Berners is lord of the manor, which includes the ancient manors of Nayland and Little Wreningham, the latter of which had a church, of which no traces are now extant.
The CHURCH (All Saints,) in that part of the parish formerly called Great Wreningham, is a small fabric, with a square tower and four bells. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10, is consolidated with that of Ashwellthorpe, in the gift of Lord Berners, and incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. Robert Wilson. The tithes here were commuted, in 1839, for £370 per annum.
The Independents have a small chapel here.
The FUEL ALLOTMENT, 20A., awarded at the enclosure, is let for £30 a year, which is distributed in coals.
