"HORSFORD, on the Holt road, 4 miles N.N.W. of Norwich, has in its parish 593 souls, and 4177 acres of land, of which only 1203 acres are titheable, and 3770 assessable to poor-rates, &c. About 600A. form a steril [sic] heath, partially cultivated and planted, and enclosed in 1802, when 208A. 3R. 12P. was set out as a Fuel Allotment. Sir Thomas B. Lennard, Bart., is lord of the manor, (fines certain.) Admiral Stephens, Viscount Ranelagh, and many smaller owners, have estates here. The ancient lords had a castle here, and there are still some traces of its foundations and moat. The Church (All Saints,) is a discharged vicarage, valued in the King's Book at £4. 5s. 2d., and augmented, in 1793, with £200 of Queen Anne's Bounty. Admiral Stephens is impropriator and patron, and the Rev. O. Mathias, M.A., incumbent." [William White, History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
