"ROYDON is a village and parish within the purlieus of the borough and peculiar jurisdiction of Castle-Rising, 6 miles E.N.E. of Lynn, comprising 174 inhabitants, 526A. of enclosed land, and several 100 acres of an extensive heath, stretching hence to Castle-Rising and Grimstone[.] Mrs., and the Hon. F.G. Howard, own the manor, and are patrons of the CHURCH, which is dedicated to All Saints, and is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at £5, and consolidated with Castle-Rising. The Rectory House, occupied by the curate, was built in 1840, and the church was repaired in 1844. In 1454, a large and beautiful manor-house, called the Rey, built by the Wodehouse family, was pulled down, in consequence of a disputed claim between John Wodehouse and Thomas Danyel, Esqrs. This parish participates in the benefits of the Hospital at Castle-Rising. " [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
