"HICKLING, a scattered village and parish, 18 miles N.E. by E. of Norwich, and 4 miles E.S.E. of Stalham, has 860 souls and 4334 acres of land, of which nearly 2000 are marshes. About 1¼ miles S. of the Church, is Hickling Broad, an extensive lake, upwards of three miles in circumference, and navigable for small craft to the Thurne and the Bure. Nathl. Micklethwait, Esq., is the principal landowner, and lord of the manor, for which he holds a court in November. Some of the copyholds are on fine certain, and others arbitrary. . . . The Rev. C.F. Millard, A.B., of Norwich, is the incumbent. The rectorial tithes have been commuted for £814, and the vicarial for £344 per annum. The Church (St. Mary,) is a handsome Gothic structure, with a tower and five bells; and about half a mile to the north, in the outbuildings of a farm-house, are the remains of the Priory, which was founded in 1185, by Theobold de Valoins, for canons of the order of St. Austin, and granted at the dissolution to Sir. W. Woodhouse." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Peter Green]
