"WALCOTT or Wolcot, on the coast 1 ½ mile W. of Happisburgh, and 5 ½ miles E. by N. of North Walsham, has in its parish 172 souls, and 685A. of land. S. Bignold, Esq., is lord of the manor, but part of the soil belongs to several other proprietors. The Church (All Saints,) is a curacy, certified at £26, and valued in 1831 at £43. It was augmented in 1800 and 1817 with £600 of Queen Anne's Bounty, and has been held by the Rev. John Hewitt, B.D. since 1784. The Bishop of Norwich is patron, and also appropriator of the tithes, which are leased to Mr. A. Siely, and have been commuted for £321 per annum, exclusive of the yearly payment of £24.10s to the rector of Ridlington and £2.10s to the impropriator and vicar of Happisburgh.
