"STALHAM, a large and handsome village, with a Post Office, 8½ miles S.E. of North Walsham, and 14½ miles N.E. by N. of Norwich, includes within its parish 679 inhabitants, and 1759A. of land, exclusive of 33A. of roads and water. A little south of the village, are two wharfs, or staiths, . . . Miss Brooke is lady of the manor of Linford and Wilds, and the Rev. Richard Johnson is lord of the manor of Stalham Hall. They are also impropriators of most of the great tithes, and owners of the chief part of the soil; and the rest belongs to the family of Cooke, and several smaller proprietors. The Church is a fine Gothic edifice, dedicated to St. Mary. . . . The living is a vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £5; but it was augmented in 1753, with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty, and has now a good residence, with 6A. 1R. 12P. of glebe. The Marquis Cholmondeley is patron, and the Rev. James White, M.A., incumbent. The rectorial tithes have been commuted . . . About 480 acres are free of great tithes. Here is a National School, built in 1841, and a small Methodist Chapel." [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Peter Green]
