"WEASENHAM ST. PETER, or Lower Weasenham, is a small village and parish, 7 miles S.W. by S. of Fakenham, containing 310 souls and 1397 acres of land, nearly all the property of the Earl of Leicester, who is lord of the manor and lessee of the rectory. The Church is a neat structure, with a low tower, and is a vicarage, consolidated with that of Weasenham All Saints. The joint livings have been augmented with ￡600 of Queen Anne's Bounty since 1760. Here are 15A. of glebe. The tithes were commuted in 1839. The Fuel Allotment is noticed with All Saints parish.
