"WEYBOURN, or Wayborne, 4 miles N.E. of Holt, is a small village picturesquely seated on the sea-coast, and sheltered on the other sides by a semicircular range of towering hills. Its parish has 311 souls, and 1459A. of land, exclusive of beach and wastes. . . . Of the whole Norfolk coast, this is the point most open to the enemy. At a point called Weybourn Hope, are traces of fortifications; . . . The Earl of Orford is lord of the manor, owner of most of the soil, and patron of the Church (All Saints,) which was formerly much larger, being attached to the priory founded here in the reign of Henry II., for Augustine canons, and granted at the dissolution to Richard Heydon. The benefice is a donative, in the incumbency of the Rev. John Gunton, A.M., of Marsham. The parish is exempt from episcopal jurisdiction; and the tithes were commuted, in 1839, for ￡300 per annum. The Rev. Cremer Cremer is the officiating curate." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]

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.
- 1861 Census
- "The decrease of population in the parishes of Weybourne, Salthouse, and Cley-next-the-Sea is attributed to the fact that the return for 1851 included a large number of labourers who were engaged in embanking a tract of marsh land."
