"STRUMPSHAW is a well-built, but dispersed village, on an eminence, 8½ miles E. by S. of Norwich, comprising within its parish 412 inhabitants, and about 1200 acres, belonging to a number of freeholders and some copyholders; the latter are subject to arbitrary fines, payable to the heirs of the late E. Walpole, Esq., as lords of the manor. The ancient lords were the Dan-Martins and the Bardolphs. The Church (St. Peter,) was new pewed and covered with blue slate, in 1819, at the cost of £150. The living is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at £8, and in 1831 at £486, with that of Bradestone annexed to it, in the patronage and incumbency of the Rev. E.S. Whitbread, M.A., who has a commodious residence, and 64A. of glebe. The tithes of Strumpshaw were commuted in 1844, for £370 per annum. The windmill, in this parish, is supposed to stand on the highest hill in Norfolk, " [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
