"WINCH (WEST) is a village of detached houses on and near the Setch turnpike, 3 miles S. of Lynn, comprising in its parish 415 inhabitants, and about 1,200 acres of land, partly in the low meadows and common on the east side of the river Nar. Lord Henry Cholmondeley is lord of the manor; but a great part of the soil belongs to twelve smaller freeholders, and a number of copyholders. The CHURCH, (St. Mary,) has recently been thoroughly repaired, and the living is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at ￡9 13s. 4d., and now worth about ￡350 a year, having 38 acres of glebe, and a yearly rent awarded in lieu of tithes, in 1840. The patronage is in the Crown, and the Rev. Martin Hogge, M.A., of Southacre, is the incumbent. Here is no rectory-house, but D. Gurney, Esq., generously pays the rent of the curate's residence."

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.
