"BARSHAM (EAST) is a village and parish, in the picturesque valley of the small river Stiffkey, 3 miles N. of Fakenham. It has 240 inhabitants, and 1,048 acres of land, nearly all belonging to Lord Hastings, the lord of the manor, and patron of the CHURCH, (All Saints,) a small edifice, which formerly had a tower, the base of which is now the porch, with some fragments of figures in niches. . . . The discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £16 13s. 4d., is endowed with the rectorial tithes, and consolidated with the rectory of Little Snoring, in the incumbency of the Rev. Henry Nicholas Astley, M.A. . . . The Hall, now a farm-house, is a much admired specimen of ancient brick-work, in the Tudor style, with towers and turrets, built in the reign of Henry VII. and VIII., by Sir Wm. Farmour, and afterwards the seat of the Calthorpes." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
