MARGARET, partly on an eminence, 6 miles N.N.E. of Diss, has in its parish 368 souls, and 1698 acres of land, mostly belonging to the Earl of Orford, the lord of the manor.The Church has a tower and five bells, and the living is a rectory, consolidated with that of Tivetshall St. Mary. The Society of Friends have an old meeting-house and burial-ground here. The Poor's Allotment, 6A., awarded at the enclosure in 1808, is let for £12.

This land, with an allotment of 1R. 3P., awarded to it at the enclosure, is let for £12. " [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
