"SAXTHORPE, 5 miles N.W. of Aylsham, on the north side of the Bure, has 342 souls, and 2073 acres of land, of which 870A., with the manorial rights, were purchased about 25 years ago, by the Earl of Orford, of the Elvin family. The rest of the soil belongs to other proprietors. Pembroke College, Cambridge, has the appropriation of the rectory, and the patronage of the vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £4. 13s. 4d., and in 1831, at £144. It is enjoyed by the Rev. Samuel Ashby, M.A., and was augmented with £400 by W. Trolope, and Queen Anne's Bounty, in 1739. . . . The Church (St. Andrew,) was built about 1490; previous to which, here was St. Dunstan's Chapel, founded by Amer de Valence, in 1313, on the site still called Chapel close. In 1666, the Rev. John Vaughan, a late vicar, left £260 to the Boy's Hospital, in Norwich, and directed that half the boys admitted in consideration thereof, should be sent from Saxthorpe."

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.
