"DUNTON-WITH-DOUGHTON, 3½ miles W. of Fakenham, form a parish of 147 souls, two farm houses, a few cottages, and about 1,600 acres of land, on the north side of the vale of the Wensum. The Earl of Leicester is owner of the soil and lord of the manor, which was given by Henry VIII., to Ralph de Hauville, to be held by the service of keeping the King's falcons; but in the reign of Elizabeth it passed to Chief Justice Coke. The Earl is also patron of the vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £5 6s. 8d., and in 1831 at £111. The Rev. Stephen Allen of Erpingham, is the incumbent."
