"BELAUGH, in the south-east angle of this hundred, is a small village, picturesquely seated on the summit and sides of an abrupt acclivity, which rises within a semicircular curve of the river Bure, 8½ miles N.E. by N. of Norwich. Its parish contains 164 inhabitants, and 855 acres of rich loamy land, of which 199 are marsh, 647 arable, and seven plantations. Captain Trafford, of Wroxham, owns a great part of the soil, and is lord of the manor. The CHURCH (St. Peter,) has a tower, and was re-pewed and glazed in 1831. The bank on the west side of the churchyard rises nearly perpendicular from the river, and the parsonage-house stands in a romantic situation on the northern acclivity. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £6, and in 1831, at £420, with the vicarage of Scottow annexed to it, is in the patronage of the Bishop of Norwich, and incumbency of the Rev. John Lubbock, M.A." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Richard Johns]
