"WOOTTON (SOUTH), one mile from the above [ie from North Wootton], and 2½ miles N. by E. of Lynn, is a small village near the Wash, comprising within its parish only 151 inhabitants, and 1,140 acres, of which 300 are common, and the rest enclosed. The Rev. W.C. Ray, and others, are owners of the soil; but the Hon. F.G. Howard is lord paramount. The CHURCH, (St. Mary,) is a small ancient fabric. The living is a rectory, valued in the King's Book at ￡8 6s. 8d., and in 1831 at ￡226. It is in the gift of the Crown, and incumbency of the Rev. Wm. Haughton, M.A., for whom a parsonage-house was erected, in 1844. A few of the houses at Wootton-Gap, are in Gaywood parish."
