"RUNCTON (NORTH) is a pleasant village, with several neat houses, 3 miles S.S.E. of Lynn, including in its parish 289 inhabitants, and 1,329 acres of enclosed land, of which, about 800 are in the hamlet of HARDWICK, where there are three farm-houses, and 23 inhabitants, within one mile of Lynn, belonging to Mrs. Hudson, of Tedworth Court, Surrey. Stephen Gee, Esq., of Hull, is lord of the manor of North Runcton, with Hardwick and Setch, in which the copyholders pay arbitrary fines, and about 200 acres are unenclosed. RUNCTON HALL, a large white brick mansion, . . . is the handsome seat of Daniel Gurney, Esq. The CHURCH, (All Saints,) is a neat cemented fabric, . . . It has several inscriptions to the families of Rolle, Atwell, Hopes, and Cremer, who were formerly lords of the manor. The rectory has annexed to it, the churchless parish of Setch, and is valued in the King's Book at £8 10s., but is now worth about £750 a year, in the patronage of Trinity College, Cambridge, and incumbency of the Rev. James Cummings, M.A., F.R.S., professor of Chemistry at Cambridge University. Here are 15A. of glebe. The benefice was endowed in 1616, by the Rev. Thomas Hopes, with the Notley tithes, (400 acres in Middleton,)" [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
