"BARTON TURF is a parish and straggling village, 11 miles N.E. of Norwich, and 6 miles S.S.E. of North Walsham, comprising 408 inhabitants, and 1599 acres of land, of which 178A. are wood and water. The navigable river Ant opens out into an extensive lake or "broad," on the east side of the parish. The soil belongs to a number of proprietors, the largest of whom is Sir J.H. Preston, the lord of the manor, lessee of the tithes, and owner of Barton Hall, a large handsome brick mansion, seated on a pleasant eminence, but now unoccupied. The Corporation of Norwich have a small manor and estate here, called Berry Hall. The CHURCH (St. Michael,) is a handsome structure, with a lofty tower and three bells, standing in the centre of the parish. . . . The Bishop of Norwich is the patron, and the Rev. John Gunn, M.A., incumbent." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Helen Neave]
