"WRENINGHAM, a parish of scattered houses, near the source of the small river Tas, 8 miles S.W. by S. of Norwich, has 487 souls, and 1502 acres of land, mostly the property of the Misses Harrison, and W.O. Burton, Esq.; but Lord Berners is lord of the manor, which includes the ancient manors of Nayland and Little Wreningham, the latter of which had a church, of which no traces are now extant. The CHURCH (All Saints,) in that part of the parish formerly called Great Wreningham, is a small fabric, with a square tower and four bells. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10, is consolidated with that of Ashwellthorpe, in the gift of Lord Berners, and incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. Robert Wilson. The tithes here were commuted, in 1839, for £370 per annum. The Independents have a small chapel here."

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.
