In 1841, it had 634 inhabitants, including 113 in the Workhouse, or House of Industry, for the Incorporated Hundreds of Tunstead and Happing, . . . The soil belongs chiefly to W.H. Windham and John and Wm. Postle, Esqrs., and Sir J.H. Preston. The latter is lord of the manor, in which the fines are certain. The Old Hall is now occupied by a farmer, Wm. Postle, Esq., having built a New Hall, in 1837. Holly House, another neat modern mansion, is the residence of John Postle, Esq. Nearly a mile E. of the village is Wayford Bridge, . . . The Church (St. Peter,) is a neat fabric, . . . The living is a discharged rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10. 4s., in the gift of the Bishop of Norwich, and incumbency of the Rev. Charles Penrice, of Little Plumstead. The glebe is 28A. 1R. 17P., and the tithes were commuted in 1838 for £430 per annum. The Church Land is 11A. 2R. 27P., let for £21. 4s., to which is added 20s. from part of an allotment set out as a common-staith. . . . Petty Sessions are held at the Workhouse," [William White History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845) - Transcription copyright © Pat Newby]
