"MARSHAM, a large village, pleasantly situated on the turnpike, 2 miles S. of Aylsham, and 10 miles N. of Norwich, has in its parish 698 souls, and 1819 acres of land, but only 1385 acres are assessable. . . . The Hall, a neat white mansion, has lately been purchased for his own residence, by the Rev. Henry P. Marsham, rector of Brampton, and is now undergoing extensive improvements. In the parish are 80 looms, but only about ten were at work in 1844. The CHURCH (All Saints,) is a neat fabric, with a tower and eight bells. It has an ancient screen, and a curious old font, on which are carved the sacraments of the Romish church, four Saints, four Confessors, and St. George and the Dragon. In the windows are many mutilated remains of stained glass, and in the chancel are several brasses in memory of the Norton, Atthill, and other families. The living is a discharged rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10. 12s. 9d. It is in the gift of the Earl of Lichfield, and incumbency of the Rev. John Gunton, for whom a new Rectory House is about to be erected, the old one being much dilapidated." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Richard Johns]
