"GRESHAM parish, 5 miles S.W. of Cromer, has 340 inhabitants, and 1412A. of land, belonging to various owners; but G.S. Repton, Esq., is lord of the manor, which was held by the celebrated Geoffry Chaucer, and afterwards passed to a family of its own name. Sir Edmund Bacon had a license in the reign of Edward II. to embattle his manor-house here, which was subsequently strengthened by Sir Thomas Gresham. This castle had a moat, with a round tower at each corner. The CHURCH (All Saints,) has a round tower, with a nave, chancel, and porch. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £6. 18s. 9d., has 24A. of glebe, and is in the gift of the Rev. John Spurgeon, and incumbency of the Rev. F.E. Arden, B.A. The tithes were commuted in 1839 for £321 per annum. The Methodists have a small chapel here."
