"DEREHAM (EAST), a market-town and parish in the hundred of MITFORD, county of NORFOLK, 17 miles (W.N.W.) from Norwich, and 101 (N.E. by N.) from London, containing 3244 inhabitants, and, including the hamlet of Dillington, in the hundred of Launditch, 3273. This place, anciently called Deerham, from the number of deer by which it was frequented, and distinguished by its adjunct from a village of the same name, is of very remote antiquity. . . . In 1581, the town suffered severely from fire, and in 1679 the greater part of it was by a similar calamity reduced to ashes. It is pleasantly situated nearly in the centre of the county, and within the last century has been so materially improved by widening and levelling the streets, as to render it one of the handsomest market-towns in Norfolk . . . . The living is a vicarage with the perpetual curacy of Hoe, in the archdeaconry of Norfolk, and diocese of Norwich, rated in the king's books at £17. 3. 4., and in the patronage of the Crown; there is also a rectory, rated at £41. 3. 1. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, formerly the conventual church of the monastery of St. Withburga, and made parochial in 798, is a spacious cruciform structure, partly in the Norman and partly in the early style of English architecture."
