"STOCKTON, a small straggling village, 4½ miles S.S.E. of Loddon, has in its parish 129 inhabitants, and 1023A. of land, mostly the property of John Kerrich, Esqr., the lord of the manor of Stockton-with-the-Soke, which comprises most of this parish and those of Geldeston, Gillingham, Ellingham, and Kirby-Cane. It was held by the Crown in the reign of Elizabeth, but was let in fee farm. A court baron and leet was then kept on St. Margaret's day, . . . The tenants were exempt from serving on juries at assizes or sessions, and had common-right on Mickle-fen, now enclosed. The CHURCH (St. Michael,) is a small antique fabric, . . . The living is a discharged rectory, valued in the King's Book at £8, and in 1831 at £280. It is in the gift of the Duke of Norfolk, and incumbency of the Rev. John Coldham, for whom the Rev. E.J. Jones, of Geldeston, officiates. The glebe is 32A. The Town Estate, which has been held from an early period, for the benefit of the parish, at the discretion of the chief inhabitants, comprises two cottages and upwards of 48A. of land, let for £65 a year, which is applied in the repairs of the church, and the relief of the poor. . . . Carr's Marshes, an extensive tract of low swampy lands, in Stockton and Toftmonks, . . . are now well cultivated."
