Copeman, Mr. S. Roper, and several smaller owners. The Church (All Saints,) had a tower, which was taken down in 1822. The Bishop of Norwich is lord of the manor, and patron of the rectory, valued in the King's Book at £9. 6s. 8d., and now enjoyed by the Rev. Robt. Rolfe. The glebe is 10A., and the tithes were commuted, in 1839, for £285 per annum. " [William White  History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
