Houses, 78. The property is divided among a few. A village here was of some importance at Domesday, but now is very inconsiderable. A steam corn and seed mill was recently erected. The living is a vicarage, annexed to Great Ellingham, in the dio. of Norwich. The church, soon after being restored, was destroyed by fire in 1867; and was re-restored in 1869. Charities, £45. .
