"MINTLYNN is a small decayed parish, 2¼ miles E. by S. of Lynn, on the northern acclivity of the valley opposite Middleton. It contains only 36 inhabitants, two farm-houses, and 720 acres of enclosed land, with a high sandy heath, of which 400 acres were planted by the late Wm. Bagge, Esq., who bequeathed this estate to its present owner, Richard Bagge, Esq. Bishop Beaufoy had a grant of this and 60 other lordships, from the Conqueror. In Domesday book it is called Meltinga. Its small CHURCH, dedicated to St. Michael, has long been in ruins, but the gables and side walls are still standing. Mintlynn is now a sort of extra-parochial liberty, having neither church nor pastor." [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.
