"ASHILL, a scattered village, on a commanding eminence, 3 miles N.N.W. of Watton, and 6 miles S.E. of Swaffham, has in its parish 637 souls, and 2970A. of land, in the manors of Uphall, Collards, and Gaines, of which Lord Ashburton is lord; and Panworth Hall, of which the Earl of Leicester is lord; but part of the soil belongs to several smaller owners. The Church (St Nicholas) is a handsome fabric, in the pointed style, with a tower and six bells. It was repewed in 1827, and its east window is richly decorated with stained glass. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £19.13s.6½d., has 32A. of glebe, and a yearly rent of £1010, awarded in 1841, in lieu of tithes. The Rev. B. Edwards is patron and incumbent. Here is a National School, built in 1820." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
