"CATFIELD, a large but straggling village, in several detached portions, 14 miles N.W. of Norwich and 3 miles S. by E. of Stalham, has in its parish 655 souls, and 2393 acres of land, including part of Hicklingham and Ludham Broads. The soil belongs chiefly to the Cubitt, Crowe, Beck, and other resident families. The Rev. B. Cubitt is lord of the manor of Catfield Hall; and the rest of the parish is in the out-soke manor of Sutton. The church (All Saints,) is a large gothic structure, built about 1440, and having five bells. The living is a discharged rectory and vicarage, united, and valued in the King's Book at £7.10s. The Bishop of Norwich and the Rev. B. Cubitt are patrons alternately; and the Rev. John Prowett A.M., is the incumbent."
