"WINCH (EAST) is a considerable village, with several neat houses, pleasantly seated on the Swaffham turnpike, 6 miles S.E. by E. of Lynn. The parish contains 440 inhabitants, and 2,410 acres of land, belonging to the families of Kent, Platten, Curl, and Smith. The Rev. Geo. Edward Kent is lord of the manors of East Winch and Carrow; and the Bishop of Norwich is lord of the manor of Grancourt, containing about 80 acres. An estate of about 800A., [belonging] to J. Platten, Esq., of Lynn, was lately the property of the Forsters. In 1815, an act was obtained for enclosing and draining the waste lands; but about 80A. still form an open common, on which the poor claim pasturage, &c. . . . The CHURCH, (All Saints,) is an ancient fabric, and had on its south side a chapel, built by the Howards. The vicarage, valued in the King's Book at ￡8, and in 1831 at ￡183, has 12½A. of glebe. The Rev. G.E. Kent is patron, and the Rev. E. Edwards, M.A., of Lynn, is the incumbent. Here is a National School, built in 1842."
