"APPLETON is an ancient decayed parish, 8 miles N.E. by E. of Lynn, lying in the vale between West-Newton and Flitcham, and united with the latter for the maintenance of the poor. It contains only two farm-houses, two cottages, and about 700 acres of land, all belonging to the Hon. Charles Spencer Cowper. The ancient lords of the manor were the Pastons, whose handsome mansion here was burnt to the ground in 1707, to the great danger of the family, who were in their beds when the conflagration was discovered. The hall was never re-built, and since then, the small CHURCH, dedicated to St. Mary, has been a deserted ruin, of which, much of the dilapidated tower and walls of the nave still remain. . . The living is a discharged vicarage, possessed only of a yearly modus of £8, and now enjoyed by the Rev. W. Allen, of Narborough, who performs divine service in the ruins once a year." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]

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.
- 1801, 1811, 1821 and 1831 Censuses
- The population tables only show figures for Flitcham - there is no mention of Appleton. However in the tables for the 1841 and 1851 censuses, where these figures are repeated, they are for Flitcham-cum-Appleton.

- "The increase of population in Flitcham-cum-Appleton is partly attributed to the erection of cottages for agricultural labourers."
