"HOVETON ST. JOHN, 7½ miles N.E. by N. of Norwich, is a village and parish, with 317 inhabitants, and 1766A. of land, exclusive of a lake or broad of 133 acres, near the river Bure. The Rev. T.C. Blofeld is owner of the soil, lessee of the tithes, and lord of the manors. His residence is Hoveton House, a handsome brick mansion, with Grecian pilasters, and an extensive lawn overlooking the Bure. The CHURCH stands on an acclivity, about half a mile east of the village, and has a brick tower, built in 1765. The benefice [is] a curacy, certified at £17, and consolidated with Hoveton St. Peter, in the incumbency of the Rev. T.C. Blofeld. The Bishop of Norwich is the patron, and also appropriator of the great tithes of both parishes."

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.
- 1801 Census
- The number of families really is 22.
- 1851 Census
- "The decrease of population in Hickling and Hoveton St. John, is owing to the depressed state of agriculture in these Parishes having driven many labourers to emigrate and others to seek employment on the railway works now in progress near Hull."
- 1861 Census
- "TUNSTEAD. The decrease of population in most of the parishes comprised in the Tunstead District, which forms the "Tunstead and Happing Incorporation" for the support of the poor, is attributed to emigration and the migration of young persons to other parts."
