"OULTON, a parish of scattered houses, 3½ miles N.W. of Aylsham, has 409 souls, and 1849 acres, but only 1675 acres are assessable. The Dowager Lady Suffield, the Rev. S. Pitman, of Oulton Hall, (a neat mansion, sheltered by woody acclivities,) and W.E.L. Bulwer, Esq., own most of the soil. The latter is lord of the manor, but Lady Suffield is impropriator of the great tithes. The Church (St. Peter and St. Paul,) has a tower and one bell. The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £8. 5s., and now having 13A. 28P. of glebe, and a yearly rent of £190, awarded in 1839, in lieu of the vicarial tithes. The Rev. Stephen Cooke, M.A., of Knapton, is patron and incumbent. About half a mile N.E. of the church is an Independent Chapel."
