county court district, Norwich bankruptcy district, North Erpingham
hundred and petty sessional division, Cromer polling district of North

inhabitants in 1871, living on 735 acres, and has a rateable value of

owners of the soil, lords of the manor, and impropriators.
The CHURCH (St. Helen) has long been in ruins, finely mantled with ivy.
The inhabitants use Aylmerton church, and formerly the impropriators
allowed the rector of that parish a yearly modus of £20.
