"WENDLING, on the Swaffham road, 4 miles W. by S. of East Dereham, is a parish of dispersed houses, with 330 inhabitants, and 1331 acres of land. John Margarson, Esq., is lord of the manor, but J. Mason, Esq., and others have estates here. Wendling Abbey, which stood near a small rivulet, was founded about the 52d of Henry III., by Sir Wm, de Wendling, for canons of the Præmonstratensian order, and dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It was suppressed by a bull of Pope Clement, before the general dissolution, and in 1528, granted to Cardinal Wolsey; its revenues being then valued at ￡55. 18s. 4d. per annum. The last remains of the ruins and foundations were used some years ago in repairing the roads. The present CHURCH has a square tower with three bells, and is dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. The benefice is a perpetual curacy, augmented with ￡600 of Queen Anne's Bounty, and valued in 1831 at ￡52. It is in the gift of the Earl of Leicester, and is enjoyed, with that of Longham, by the Rev. Robt. Howlett."

There may be more people living in detached parts of the parish (if there were any) and, if so, the number may or may not be included in the figures above. It is quite difficult to be sure from the population tables.
