"WHINBURGH, or Whinbergh, is a scattered hamlet and parish, on the Hingham road, 3½ miles S.S.E. of East Dereham, containing 209 inhabitants, and 1242 acres of land. Sir W.R. Clayton, Bart., owns most of the soil, and is lord of this and several other manors, for which Mr. E.R. Grigson, of Watton, is steward. The fines in Whinburgh are certain. The Church (St. Mary) is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at ￡6. 18s. 6d., and now enjoyed, with that of Westfield, by the Rev. Wm. Grigson, who purchased the patronage of both livings of Sir W.R. Clayton. The united rectories were valued in 1831 at ￡302. About 500 acres, called Whinburgh Park, pays only a yearly modus of 20s., and the tithes of the rest of the parish were commuted in 1839, for ￡169. 7s. per annum. On the land called Manor yards, the foundations of a large mansion and a double moat are still visible. In the 15th of Edward I., Lord Bardolph claimed here view of frankpledge, a weekly market, and an annual fair."

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.
