"STARSTON, 2 miles N. by W. of Harleston, has in its parish 432 souls, and 2167 acres of land, belonging to a number of freeholds, subject to small quit rents, payable to the Duke of Norfolk, the lord of the manor. Archdeacon Oldershaw, T.L. Taylor, Esq., Mr. C. Etheridge, and some others have neat houses here. The Church (St. Margaret,) has a square tower and five bells. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £15, and in 1831 at £637, has 45 acres of glebe. The Rev. W.P. Spencer, M.A., is the incumbent, and the patronage is in certain Trustees (Earl of Suffolk and others,) who must present a fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Poor's Land is about 2 acres. The poor have also the interest of £70. 10s., and a yearly rent of 20s. The latter was left by Mary Snelling, in 1687. A School has lately been built by subscription."
