Nearly all the parish is in one farm, occupied by Mr. Thos. Allen, and
belonging to Mrs. Arthy, of Caister St. Edmund, on the opposite side of
the river, with which this parish has been consolidated in ecclesiastical
affairs since 1695, when the church here was dilapidated, though some
of its remains are still extant.
