"UPTON, a straggling village, 9 miles W.N.W. of Yarmouth, has in its parish 519 souls, and upwards of 1600A. of land, exclusive of Fishley, which is united with it for the support of the poor. Wm. Waters, Esq., owns most of the soil, and is lord of the manor. The Church (St. Margaret,) had a square tower, of which part of the ruins still remain. The vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £5, is consolidated with that of Ranworth, in the incumbency of the Rev. J.W. Greaves, and patronage of the Bishop of Ely, who is also appropriator of the great tithes, which are leased to W. Waters, Esq. The tithes of Upton were commuted in 1839, the vicarial for £163, and the rectorial for £283. 15s. 6d. per annum." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
