"YAXHAM, a village and parish on the Hingham road, 2 miles S.E. by S. of East Dereham, has 450 inhabitants and 1600 acres of land. Sir W.R. Clayton is lord of the manor, but the soil belongs to W. Collison and several other proprietors. The CHURCH (St. Peter,) is a small neat edifice, with a round tower, five bells, and a remarkable font in the florid Gothic style. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at ￡10, was consolidated with Welborne, and the united livings were valued at ￡722, in 1831; but they have recently been disunited. Yaxham rectory is worth about ￡500 per annum. The Rev. W.C. Johnson, M.A., is patron and incumbent. The National School, built here in 1843, is attended by about 70 children."
