"POSTWICK, near the Railway, 4 miles E. by S. of Norwich, is situate in a romantic glen, which opens to the vale of the Yare. Its parish has 241 souls, and 1762A. of land, including a detached marsh of 346A., lying near Yarmouth. The Earl of Rosebery owns most of the soil, and is lord of the manor, and patron of the Church, (All Saints,) which is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10, and in 1831 at £462. It is now enjoyed by the Rev. Charles Ford, M.A., who has 47A. 35P. of glebe, and a good residence."
