- In the "1832 Register of Electors - Western Division" the following are present as being qualified :-
Methold Thomas, clk. of Thetford - Freehold land and tythes - John Wright, tenant
Wright John, Esqr. of Kilverstone - Freehold land - In his own occupation. - Rate was at 4s/£1 (of valuation) for the service of all the above years.
